The Basics
Most of the rooms in Dominic Hall, Joan of Arc Hall and Baroody Hall are a standard size of 11' x 14'. Each room comes furnished with a bed, built-in storage closets, desk, chair and a shared dresser. All mattresses are standard twin in size. Each room also has a data port for high-speed internet access for each resident and a telephone jack for a land-line phone. Rooms in Joan of Arc Hall also feature a sink and medicine cabinet in each room.

Transforming Your Room into Your Room
Most students will arrive on campus with too much and not with too little. Your room already is outfitted with some amenities and furnishings. One of the best best things that you can do prior to arriving on campus to check-in is to call your future roommate(s) and discuss the room. Discuss the types of items you wish to bring to campus ahead of time. This can be very helpful in saving you both time and space if you coordinate who will be bringing certain appliances, electronics and furnishings. Talking about your room before you move in with your roommate(s) will help you to visualize your new room as a space where you and your roommate(s) can be comfortable and happy.
