Room and Board Information

Lodging is Tuesday through Sunday morning. Selby Residence Hall (opened fall 1997) provides on-campus living and dining for over a hundred people. Every dorm room includes beds, a sink, a study area, movable furniture and an air conditioner that you can adjust to your own comfort level. There are community rooms available with tables, chairs and vending machines where you can gather after hours to chat.

Coffee Break

There are NO private bathrooms. There are two communal bathrooms with several toilet stalls and private showers on each floor. Each room includes one bath towel and one wash cloth per occupant. You will need to bring your own soap, shampoo and other toiletries. You may also wish to bring your own pillow (dorm pillows never seem to be poofy enough or flat enough to suit some folks), and perhaps an extra blanket, an alarm clock and a reading lamp.
