How are new students assigned to roommates and rooms?
All new and transfer students must complete the online Housing Information Form and electronically sign the Housing Contract. The information provided on the Housing Information Form is used for roommate matching, so it is important to fill out the form honestly. If a student wishes to live with someone specific, all students must request one another on the Housing Information Form. Forms should be completed by June 15th. Students cannot request specific buildings or rooms. First-year students are housed in doubles, triples, and quads.
When are room assignments emailed to new students?
Room assignments are emailed to students' rhodes.edu addresses by July 31 for the fall semester.
What comes in the rooms?
Each resident is provided with a bed, mattress (twin x-long), dresser, desk, desk chair, and closet or wardrobe. Furniture cannot be removed from the rooms.
Do I need to bring a carpet?
Yes, if you wish to have carpet in your room. All residence halls except for Stewart Hall have tile floors.
What size refrigerator can I bring?
You can bring refrigerators up to 33" high or 19" wide, with only one refrigerator per room.
What should I bring?
We encourage you to communicate with your roommate(s) about bringing more oversized items such as a TV, microwave, ironing board, carpet, stereo, gaming system, and refrigerator.
Are there things I should not bring?
Some items are restricted from possession or use in the housing facilities for health, safety, and well-being. The following items are not allowed:
Where do I eat?
The main dining hall is the , better known as "The Rat," which features a bakery, a brick pizza oven, a cook-to-order food station, and a fireside lounge. It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Students can also eat at the Lynx Lair in the Bryan Campus Life Center and grab coffee at the Middle Ground. You can find more information at Campus Dining.
Where do I do my laundry?
Laundry facilities are in each residential building or connected building. Laundry is included in housing fees, so there is no additional cost.
Do I clean my room, or is there housekeeping?
All students are responsible for cleaning their rooms. Housekeeping staff clean the common areas (hallways, stairwells, bathrooms, social rooms, etc.). Students in West Village, Spann, Parkway, and East Village, and students with in-unit or attached restrooms, are responsible for cleaning their suites and restrooms.
Where can I receive my mail?
You will be assigned a campus mailbox. The mailboxes are in Burrow Hall. Look for your 野狼社区 Box number with your housing assignment. Your proper address is:
Your Name
野狼社区 College
2000 North Parkway, Box XXXX
野狼社区, TN 38112
Can I live/stay in my room all year long?
The residence halls close, and students are expected to check out for the semester/winter break and the summer. All halls remain open during fall, Thanksgiving, spring, and Easter breaks. Summer housing is available. Meal plans are inactive over breaks. Please refer to the Meal Plan and Dining Information webpage for more information.
Can I smoke in my room?
No. Smoking is not permitted in the residence halls. Students who smoke are encouraged to smoke at least 50 feet from entrances and windows. E-cigarettes are not allowed inside buildings. Benches and ashtrays are provided near most buildings.
Do I need renter's insurance?
We strongly recommend that you have your own coverage. The college does not provide coverage for personal belongings or cars. It would be best to determine whether your homeowner or rental insurance covers your belongings and then make any necessary arrangements for the coverage. If you wish to purchase insurance, one company from which you may do so is National Student Services, Inc. Their website is http://nssinc.com/, or you may contact the Office of Residence Life for a brochure.
