Home sweet home.
Resident Halls
The dorms on our campus are blank canvases for your student to design their new home. With a variety of housing options to choose from, students can confidently call our campus theirs. All residence halls are divided by gender, with options for married students, and each dorm room is equipped with beds, dressers, desks, and chairs, with shared laundry facilities, among other amenities.
What should your student bring?
List of what they should bring to campus:
- Personal décor to spice up their dorm.
- Loads of blankets and pillows — to keep them comfy.
- Bedsheets (Twin XL) and a mattress pad, to ensure a good night’s sleep.
- Winter clothes. Seriously, Minnesota gets chilly! So grab a parka and some boots.
- Alarm clock (or alarm clock app — really anything so your student isn’t late for class).
- Cleaning supplies — to keep their place neat and tidy.
- Clothes hangers — to keep them looking good.
- Wastebasket.
- Laundry detergents and baskets.
- Shower curtain (unless they live in Main).
- Towels and washcloths.
- Laptop. (If they don’t have a laptop, computers are available on campus during most business hours.)
What could my student bring?
List of what they might consider bringing to campus:
- Mini-Fridge (4.3 cu.ft. or less) — to keep the energy drinks cold. (Refrigerators are provided in Weldin, Tewinkel, and Faith Village.)
- Swimwear, to tour Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes.
- Power strip, to plug in all their gadgets.
- Desk/floor lamp — in case they want a bit more ambiance.
- Desk supplies (organizer, stapler, scissors, ruler, calculator, pens, etc.).
- Snacks (hopefully they don’t eat them all the first night).
- Board games and cards, for roommate bonding time.
- Raincoat and/or umbrella, in case of unexpected precipitation.
What should my student NOT bring?
List of things that they cannot bring to campus:
- Candles, or pretty much anything that has an open flame (we prefer our buildings to not be on fire).
- Halogen lamps (still don’t want our buildings on fire).
- Appliances with open heating elements (toasters, hot plates, space heaters, etc. — still don’t want our buildings on fire).
- Weapons of any kind, including airsoft and paintball gear.
- Pets, unless it’s a fish (fish are friends, not food).
- Fireworks of any kind (pretty much anything that explodes).
