<p>Got the email today. How much do they search your room? Do they just come in and make sure you don't have anything obviously illegal or missing furniture? Or are they gonna like search your drawers and stuff?</p>
<p>It is illegal for them to go into your drawer, closet, or even refridgeraor</p>
<p>so, do they mainly just glance around the room and move on?</p>
<p>I’ve heard that they will remove things that may be a fire hazard, ie, Christmas lights, etc. I’m sure they are only interested in building safety.</p>
<p>i heard they check sprinklers and smoke detectors but if you have anything blatantly illegal they will call the cornell police</p>
<p>Dude, flush your stash down the toilet for pete sakes. You shouldn’t be smokin that stuff anyways.</p>
<p>You don’t hear about a lot of confiscations for anything but fire hazards (hide those halogen lights and spider lamps!) I’ve had nothing removed or written up in my first two years here. I even got a note on my desk thanking me for keeping a clean room when I lived on West.</p>
<p>Funny story – my freshman year I set up my single room so that I had a lofted bed that you had to walk under once you got into the door. Once through the bed, I had my desk and a futon. I called it the “love loft” – even though I was decidedly asexual that year.</p>
<p>At any rate, over winter break the room check people deemed it to be a fire hazard. So 352C Court became a love loft no more. This despite the pull I had with the RHD as the President of the Residence Hall Council.</p>
<p>Ah college. (Now an exciting night for me is watching a Cornellian win on Wheel of Fortune, which one did tonight.)</p>
<p>Haha that’s an amazing setup. I would definitely do that, except the doors in donlon go all the way to the ceiling :(</p>
