Residence Life Policies

Community Living Policies

Guest & Escort Policy

Residents are responsible for the conduct of their guests and for informing them of College policies and residence hall procedures. Residents of the residence hall must escort guests throughout the building — bedroom door to main door. An escort is required throughout the entire building. This means students must escort guests to the public restrooms or completely out of the building upon departure. This is also applicable to lobbies during non-visitation hours.

Immediate family members of residents may visit students’ rooms before regular visitation hours with the permission of the Residence Life Staff. Regular visitation policy applies to siblings who are attending Westminster College concurrently. Within guidelines of the College visitation policy, residents who wish to invite guests to stay overnight with them may do so at any time, with the understanding that the maximum stay is three days within any 14-day period. Permission to stay additional days must be obtained from the Office of Residence Life.

Internet Access

Free wi-fi is available throughout campus, including in the residence halls. For more information about how to connect your devices to the wi-fi, please visit my.westminster.edu, select “Need Tech Help” and then “Connecting to the Wireless Network & Mobile Email” to find detailed instructions.

If you need further assistance, let us know by contacting LIS Help (lishelp@westminster.edu; 724-946- 6000).

Laundry

Washers and dryers are available free of charge to the residents of each hall. Residents are responsible for adhering to posted laundry room regulations. Each townhouse in Berlin Village has a washer and dryer. All washers on campus are high efficiency and therefore HE detergent must be used.

Lobbies

Residents may have non-resident guests in their main lobbies at any time. In all of Westminster’s residence halls, students are responsible for the conduct of their guests. The Residence Life Staff is authorized to ask guests to leave the building if their conduct disturbs the orderly operation of the residence halls.

Off-Campus Overnights

It is suggested that students who will be leaving New Wilmington for any extended period of time should inform their RA or another student of their destination, a phone number where they may be reached, and the approximate time of their return. This will enable the College to reach a student in case of an emergency.

Quiet Hours

Students have the right to uninterrupted sleep and study in their rooms. Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours a day.

Since Westminster College seeks to establish a community that is governed by mutual respect, a student’s polite request for the cessation of noise should be heeded. If a personal request for a quieter environment goes unheeded, the student should notify a Residence Life Staff member. During quiet hours, the noise level generated by any individual should not exceed the confines of their room. Individual communities may expand the number of quiet hours; however, individual communities may not decrease the number of quiet hours below Residence Life guidelines:

Sunday through Thursday nights 9 p.m. – 9 a.m.
Friday and Saturday nights 1 a.m. – 10 a.m.

The exception to this is during finals week. During finals week, quiet hours are in effect 24 hours a day.

The College provides practice spaces for musical instruments. Students interested in practicing drums, guitars, keyboards, or other musical instruments should contact the Music Department for practice space.

Students should be familiar with the quiet hours policy, adhere to it, and inform visitors of that community’s policy. Residence Life Staff provides support and assistance in these efforts, but the primary responsibility of maintaining quiet in the halls rests with everyone.

Vending Machines

Snack vending machines are available in residence halls for the students’ convenience. If money is lost in the machine, notify the Business Office so that a refund may be obtained. Malfunctioning vending machines should be reported immediately to the Business Office. Illegal or improper use of vending machines is subject to disciplinary action, including suspension or civil prosecution.

Visitation

The College allows students latitude in determining when they will entertain guests in their residence hall rooms. A guest is defined simply as a person who has not been assigned by the Office of Residence Life to that room. The rights of each room occupant to a peaceful room where they feel comfortable to sleep, study and live supersede the privilege of either roommate to have guests in the room. All students assigned to a particular building are allowed open access to visit other residents who also live in that building so long as they are welcomed by all residents of the room.

The College’s Visitation Policy will be discussed at the opening floor meeting of the year. At that time, each building’s residents will have the opportunity to review and amend the policy. Only two items within the existing policy may be changed. They are: (1) to allow open access to the building by students living in other residence halls; and (2) to further limit the current visitation policies as outlined below.

Visitation hours are:

Sunday – Thursday:
Begins each day at 11 a.m. and ends at 11:59 p.m. on that day

Friday - Sunday:
Begins at 11 a.m. on Friday and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday

 

Health & Safety Policies

Living in a community means that a balance must be struck between the individual rights of residents, while respecting the needs of the community. Therefore, the following policies are in place to ensure the health and safety of each resident.

Alcohol & Illicit Drugs

Alcohol and illicit drugs are prohibited on the grounds of Westminster College. Employees, students, and visitors are not permitted to possess or use any of these substances while on College property.

Because they are under the age of 21, Pennsylvania law prohibits most Westminster students from drinking alcoholic beverages. For the sake of reasonable administration to, and in order to create the best possible living and educational atmosphere, there shall be no use, possession, sale, or serving of alcoholic beverages by any student while on or in College property. In fairness to our students, the same policy applies to guests and visitors to our campus.

Students found to be in possession of alcohol or illicit drugs on campus will face disciplinary action through the College Code of Conduct and could face criminal prosecution as well.

Emergency Procedures

All residence halls and many administrative buildings are equipped with fire alarms and fire suppression systems that are inspected annually. Pay close attention to posted directions in residence halls regarding emergency procedures. A planned alarm and complete evacuation of the residence hall constitutes a fire drill. Four fire drills will be conducted annually in each residence hall. The first fire drill will be conducted within the first ten days of occupancy. Additional fire drills will be scheduled throughout the year to replicate different activity periods on any given day. A minimum of one drill will be conducted after dark. When the alarm sounds, Pennsylvania law requires that everyone immediately evacuate the building, even though it may be a false alarm. A complete report of monthly fire drills is available in the Department of Public Safety. Occasionally a fire alarm sound in the building for reasons that do not involve an actual fire (i.e., system trouble, burned popcorn) and cannot be counted as fire drills.

Tampering with any fire safety equipment, such as extinguishers, exit lights, hoses, and alarms, or failing to evacuate a building when an alarm is sounded are serious offenses. Violators are subject to disciplinary action and may be referred to civil authorities.

Fire Hazard & Fire Safety

The College provides curtains in each room that are made of flame-retardant material. These curtains must be kept in place. Additional window dressings are not permitted.

Please do not put your fellow residents at risk for potential fire by having candles in residence hall rooms. Avoid administrative fines for candle possession by leaving candles at home. Students may use electric tart burners or wickless candles that never contained a wick.

Due to fire concerns, halogen/torchiere lights must be low wattage and UL approved; string LED lights are permitted at any time, but traditional (non-LED) lights, including Christmas lights and any other decorative string lights are not permitted at any time.

Personal belongings and large objects are not permitted in residence hallways due to potential hazard(s) in the event of a fire or other emergency.

Decorations and displays erected in a manner that blocks or obstructs an exit, hallway, circuit breaker panel, fire hose cabinet, smoke detector, or fire extinguisher are prohibited. Side entrances and exits, as well as windows, are to be used only in emergencies.

Guided Search Policy

The College continuously strives to ensure the health, well-being, and safety of students, and as such, there may be probable cause to search a room for illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia. The following policy is intended to help reinforce expectations outlined in the Student Code of Conduct while preserving, as much as possible, a student’s integrity and right to privacy in residential communities.

For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions shall apply:

• Campus officials: Public Safety officers and Residence Life professional staff members or their designee.
• Guided room search is defined as requiring the participation of the room occupant(s) in opening doors, drawers, closets, and other personal possessions, as requested.

The College reserves the right to enter and search any student room to investigate possible violation(s) of College policies, or state or federal laws including, but not limited to, possession, distribution, use, or sale of illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia.

The Director of Residence Life or a designated on-call Residence Life professional staff member or their designee, after reviewing the circumstances, may authorize a guided search of the student’s room by a Public Safety Officer. Probable cause for search may include, but is not limited to, student behavior that suggests they are under the influence of illegal substance(s), the smell of marijuana in or around the room, or illegal drugs/paraphernalia in plain sight. Any inspection of a student’s possessions shall be made in the student’s presence.

Room Search Procedure

• The search shall be conducted by a Public Safety Officer, in the presence of a Residence Life professional staff member or their designee.
• Resident (s) of the room or multiple room unit will be notified of the authorization and reason for the search at the time of the search, if they are present.
• If a resident of the room or multiple room unit is not present, the Residence Life professional staff will make every effort to contact the resident(s) to notify them of a search authorization.
• All areas of the room may be searched, including, but not limited to, desks, closets, and bathrooms. In addition, personal items of the then present resident, such as backpacks and suitcases, if there is cause to believe illegal drugs or paraphernalia are present in these items may be searched. The Public Safety Officer will determine probable cause in consultation with the Residence Life professional staff member.
• Present residents may be required to provide access to any locked spaces/containers, as requested by the Public Safety Officer.
• Any illegal drug or drug paraphernalia found during the search will be confiscated by the Public Safety Officer and used as evidence in student conduct proceedings. These items may be shared with local law enforcement according to local, state, and federal guidelines.

Pet Policy

Pets are not permitted in residence halls and town houses on campus. Exceptions to this policy are fish in freshwater aquariums inside occupants’ rooms.

Prohibited Items

Prohibited items include firearms, ammunition, weapons, fireworks, candles, incense, open flames, gasoline, flammable materials, and motor vehicles.

Smoking & Tobacco Use in Residence Life

Smoking is not permitted in residence halls or Berlin Village. To locate complete smoking and tobacco information, please use the index or refer to this Handbook’s Section Four: College Policies and Procedures.

Weapons

Pennsylvania law and/or Westminster College policy prohibit the possession, use or storage of weapons or dangerous materials of any type or description anywhere on Westminster College property. This includes, but is not limited to, firearms, compressed- air or gas-operated guns, pellet guns, BB guns, illegal knives, swords, explosive devices, fireworks, ammunition, or any other dangerous or offensive weapon as defined in the Pennsylvania Crimes Code, Section 908c. Additionally, the College prohibits the possession of any non-folding knife designed to be carried in a sheath, and any folding knife commonly referred to as a “pocket knife” unless it has a blade of less than three (3) inches in length.

Window Screens

Screens are to be kept in windows at all times. There is a $50 fee per screen to reinstall removed screens. Students are not permitted to keep live trees, exercise weights, or anything that extends outside room windows. Due to safety concerns, roofs, overhangs, attics, and marked physical plant spaces are off-limits to students as well.

 

Housing Policies

Abandoned Property

Abandoned belongings found within the residential hall rooms are generally kept for one week after closing before being disposed of. Procedure dictates that staff holds the items an additional three weeks to make attempts to contact the owner and arrange a pickup. Belongings left by residents will be gathered and stored for up to one-month total. When belongings are found, Area Coordinators will attempt to contact residents to arrange a time for item pickup via Westminster email and a phone call to both cell phone and home numbers. After two weeks, the Area Coordinator will attempt to contact the resident by sending a letter to their home address. Letters should be sent as certified mail. After one month and three different contact methods, the belongings will be disposed of and/or donated. If any items are found that are dangerous, but legal, the Department of Public Safety will be contacted to assist in storing the item until the resident can return to pick it up. Drivers’ licenses, credit cards and Federal forms of identification will also be turned into Public Safety. Any Titan Cards found will be turned into the Department of Public Safety.

Appliances

Refrigerators are permitted in student rooms; they must be stamped with a visible and acceptable Underwriters Seal of Approval and may not exceed 4.3 cubic feet in size. Air conditioners or freezers are not permitted in residence hall rooms. Microwave ovens are permitted in student rooms only if they have a power rating of 1100 watts or less. Refrigerators, stoves, and dishwashers are provided in Berlin Village.

Other appliances such as fans and Keurig-style coffee makers (coffee makers with an exposed heating or warming element are not permitted) are allowed for individual use in rooms. Exposed heating element appliances such as George Foreman grills, toasters and toaster ovens are not permitted, except for Berlin Village.

To conserve energy and minimize the risk of power failure, the College reserves the right to restrict or limit the use of electrical appliances. In addition, the College does not allow students to regulate thermostats or have air conditioners in rooms.

Gender Affirming Housing

The Gender Affirming Housing Program at Westminster College works actively with students to have the ability to feel safe, welcomed, and in our residence halls that best meet their needs regardless of their gender identity.

For any student interested in a gender affirming room assignment, we ask that students set-up an appointment by emailing residencelife@westminster.edu. Our staff will work with you in a personal, confidential, and informed manner to discuss what housing options are available. We encourage students to reach out to us early in the process so that we may offer the widest range of housing options. However, there is no guarantee that a particular space will be available.

Some housing options a student may be assigned include:

• Single or double room with a private bath
• Single or double room with a gender-neutral bathroom in close proximity
• Single or double room with an attached semi-private bathroom shared with another single or double room

During this appointment, our staff will also guide students through various living arrangements and how our staff can best support them during their residential experience.

If you have any additional questions or would like to learn more, please email residencelife@westminster.edu.

Keys & Titan Cards

Your Titan Card is used for access to your residence hall. If it is lost, report that information immediately to the Department of Public Safety located on the second floor of McKelvey Campus Center so that the card can be deactivated. Obtain a replacement card from the Titan Card Office, in the McKelvey Campus Center.

Titan Card access to Ferguson Hall is given to all sorority women for the use of chapter rooms and entry to the building for formal sorority events (recruitment parties, meetings, etc.). Misuse of Ferguson access will result in loss of the card access privilege.

Each resident student is issued a room key. Replacement cost for your room key is approximately $50, due to the necessity of an entire lock change. This cost is nonrefundable and subject to change during the year. To ensure the safety of a student and their belongings, lost keys should be reported to their Area Coordinator within 24 hours. A spare key may be obtained from a Residence Life Staff member until a lock change occurs and new keys are cut. College keys are not to be duplicated by students.

Residence hall room keys must be returned during the official checkout period or when the room is permanently vacated. Students will be billed for any keys not returned at this time.

If a student is locked out of their room, a Residence Life staff member will unlock the room. Students who overuse this service will be subject to judicial action. A student will not be allowed entrance into rooms other than their own for any reason.

Personal Property Insurance

Westminster College is unable to insure the personal property of students and will not reimburse students for losses associated with their personal property. We simply cannot define in advance the limits on the value of students' property. If items are stolen from a students' residence hall room, storage, or vehicles, or if items are damaged because of a ruptured water pipe, vandalism, etc. the College will not pay to replace those items.

Personal property insurance may be purchased for residence hall room contents through numerous insurance companies. We also encourage students and parents to check their homeowners' insurance policies, as many include cover for on-campus belongings when students are away at school.

The College shall have no legal obligation to pay for the loss or damage to student personal property occurring in College buildings or property prior to, during or after the period of the agreement. Students are encouraged to carry appropriate insurance to cover such losses.

Pregnancy Policy

The following policy concerns students who experience a pregnancy while living in campus housing. All students should be aware that confidential counseling is available both on and off-campus to support students who become pregnant.

Students who become pregnant are strongly encouraged to contact the Wellness Center, to create a wellness plan, and the Residence Life office as soon as they become aware they are pregnant. The Wellness Center staff will refer the student (and the father if necessary) to the appropriate on/off-campus support to assure the mother has a comprehensive prenatal care plan in place and the department has the most up-to-date contact and physician information in case of an emergency. It is College’s goal to help a pregnant student have a healthy, comfortable, and supportive living environment throughout the pregnancy, if she wishes to continue at Westminster College.

Pregnant students may continue taking classes and engage in all other community activities during the duration of the pregnancy. If a student prefers to take a medical leave of absence with the intention of returning to campus after delivery of the baby, such leaves may be requested through the Office of Student Affairs.

For those students who decide to keep the infant after the birth, it is important the student make necessary arrangements for housing for the infant prior to delivery. Westminster College facilities are limited to single-student housing and are unable to accommodate infants or children in the residence halls.

Residence Hall Breaks, Early Arrivals, & Extended Stay

All residence halls close during Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring breaks. Residents may not remain in College housing beyond the announced closing day or hour, or return to the residence hall prior to the announced opening unless given special permission by the Office of Residence Life. Students must vacate their rooms within 24 hours of their last final exam or final class period each semester. Residence Life and Public Safety staff are authorized to enter all rooms to ensure that all health and safety standards are met. Students who fail to comply with break housing procedures are subject to judicial action. Students will be informed of break housing procedures prior to each break.

Berlin Village residents are permitted to stay in their townhouses during any academic break. The only exception is during Winter Break when the College is closed between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. Exact dates will be communicated closer to the actual break.

Students are not permitted to enter their Housing Assignment before designated move-in dates, except when approved by the Office of Residence Life. The below instances require a College employee to request Early Arrival through the Office of Residence Life:

• Students required to be on campus for athletics
• Students required to be on campus for sanctioned College activities

Special circumstances should seek approval from the Office of Residence Life for early arrival for reasons other than those listed above. Should a student move into their assignment before their designated move-in date, the student will be charged a daily housing rate. Additionally, students should know that many departments on-campus are not fully open, and students may be responsible for paying for their own meals. Westminster College policies are in still in effect during this duration and any violation of policies could prevent future break housing access.

Students are not permitted to remain in their housing assignment after their designated check-out date. The below instances require a College employee to request Extended Stay access through the Office of Residence Life:

• Students required to be on campus for athletics
• Students required to be on campus for sanctioned College activities

Special circumstances should seek approval from the Office of Residence Life for Extended Stay for reasons other than those listed above. Should a student continue to stay in their assignment after their designated move-out date, the student will be charged a daily housing rate. Students will not be permitted to stay on-campus if they have a Financial Hold. Additionally, students should know that many departments on-campus are not fully open, and students may be responsible for paying for their own meals. Westminster College policies are in still in effect during this duration and any violation of policies could prevent future break housing access.

Right of Entry

The Office of Residence Life recognizes and respects an individual’s right to privacy. The College reserves the right to enter any room to perform routine maintenance duties or to inspect any room for reasons for Health and Safety Checks or potential violations of college policies. Upon entering the room, the College official may confiscate material believed to be associated with an alleged violation of Westminster College policy if the material in question is in plain view. The Residence Life professional staff will communicate with the resident(s) the items that were confiscated, the policy violated, and any referrals to student conduct or administrative fees. The above may take place whether or not the occupant is present. Guided searches of the room, its contents, and personal effects will be conducted pursuant to the policy for searching rooms. See Guided Search policy.

Room Assignments

The Office of Student Affairs makes room and roommate assignments for incoming first year and transfer students. Upper-class residents choose their roommates and assignments through the Housing Selection process, conducted each spring semester. Students living in theme housing conduct their own housing selection process.

The housing selection process for upper-class students is structured in a way that gives preference to a student’s class standing. Within the various classes, room selection order is determined by random lottery of numbers. For example, all seniors will have first choice during Housing Selection, and will use their randomly assigned lottery numbers to determine the order in which seniors will select rooms with their roommate(s). Juniors, sophomores, and first years will follow.

Information Services has worked with Residence Life to develop a random number generator that assigns lottery numbers to all undergraduate students. Lottery numbers are determined by the class standing for the spring semester as designated by the Registrars’ Office and will be sent to each student at Westminster through their campus email. A lottery number is required for single, double, or triple room selection process. Roommate pairs/groups should use the lowest lottery number for the pair/group.

Room selection for Berlin Village also occurs in the spring semester. Criteria used in the selection process include semesters lived on campus, GPA, and demonstration of responsible behavior as a member of the Westminster College community. Information regarding this process will be made available in the fall semester.

Room Changes

Part of Westminster College’s educational mission is to assist students in developing the skills necessary to maintain respectful and healthy relationships with others. Students experiencing difficulties with their roommate and the subsequent room assignment should first contact their RA and have the responsibility to first work toward reaching a resolution to the conflict. All members of the Residence Life Staff are trained to assist students in working out these problems. The Office of Residence Life will consider room and roommate changes only after the students involved have made a serious effort to explore all alternatives to a change. For administrative reasons, room changes cannot be permitted until Open Room Selection occurs. For more information regarding room changes, please check here.

Room Consolidation

At times it may be necessary for the Office of Residence Life to consolidate within the residence halls. Students from one room may be split up or moved from one room to another. This usually occurs for reasons of discipline, safety, health, irresolvable conflict, maximum space utilization, or for other situations deemed necessary by the College. The Office of Residence Life will attempt to give the students involved at least 48 hours' notice when a move is made. In emergency situations, this may not be possible.

Room Vacancies

If a student does not show up for the opening of an academic semester, or later vacates the room, the remaining occupant(s) must provide ample area in the room in the event another student is assigned to that vacant space. The College reserves the right to fill vacancies in rooms at any time, and to relocate students if circumstances require. Students living off-campus while abroad and/or student teaching are guaranteed a residence hall space when they return to campus. The College tries, but unfortunately cannot guarantee a specific housing assignment.

Suites in Eichenauer Hall

Eichenauer Hall’s rooms are arranged so that two double occupancy rooms typically share a common bathroom. Residents can select either one room or the full suite during Housing Selection, which must be filled properly. The College would consider the three rooms as one shared living area. Consequently, all four residents would also share in the responsibility for all three rooms (two living/sleeping rooms and bathroom) in that suited living arrangement, including its contents and damages.

 

Residential Facility Policies

Care of Facilities & Damages

An important part of living in a community is demonstrating respect for fellow residents by taking responsibility for the community environment. Residents assume a shared responsibility for the proper maintenance of their rooms and the common areas of the residence halls. Westminster College provides daily cleaning service to all public areas of residence halls, and students are expected to help maintain these areas. Berlin Village residents are responsible for cleaning within the townhouse, including bathrooms.

Students are liable for damage to College or student property caused by negligent or willful actions. In extreme cases, damages by unidentified persons will be the financial responsibility of the community. Please keep damage costs down by playing sports outside of the building. Residence Life and Physical Plant Staffs regularly inspect all rooms and common areas.

A Room Condition Form is completed by each student as they move into a residence hall room. The exact condition and contents of the room are noted at that time. When a student checks out of a room, the initial condition of the room will be compared against its current state. Any damage beyond normal wear and tear will be assessed to the room’s occupants. Residents who wish to check out of their rooms must do so with their RA to complete the necessary steps and paperwork involved. A $30 improper check-out fee can be avoided by taking the few minutes necessary to check out properly when rooms are vacated.

Decorations

Decorating community hallways is a long-standing holiday tradition but needs to be done in a way that ensures the safety of all residents and does not cause damage to the building. Hall decorations should be removed within one week of a holiday (trick-or-treat) or before the residence halls close for a holiday break.

To minimize damage to the buildings, we ask that the students use 3M adhesive hooks or tape to hang decorations, and students are allowed to leave these on at the end of the year at no additional cost. Please do not use tape on the floor. Nothing should be hung from ceiling tiles or pipes as they are easily damaged and are often in areas where fire suppression equipment is located.

Fire code requires that corridors and egress routes remain unimpeded. Therefore, “Exit” signs and fire suppression equipment (extinguishers, sprinkler heads, sensors, etc.) must remain uncovered. Additionally, door decorations should leave at least one inch uncovered around the perimeter and the number plate must remain visible. Doors cannot be wrapped.

Please do not leave objects on the floor that might cause tripping. Decorative lights should be unplugged when not attended. Finally, decorations should be inclusive, and participating students should be considerate of students not taking part. Remember to be courteous if you are asked to move or remove decorations for any reason.

Furnishings

Westminster College furnishes bed frames, mattresses, desks and chairs, curtains, closet space, drawer space, and wastebaskets. Furnishings provided by the College may not be removed from the room without prior approval from the Office of Residence Life. Students should provide their own bedding, towels, rugs, and other personal necessities. Berlin Village residents should provide their own wastebaskets.

Platforms and lofts are not permitted. All rooms are equipped with loftable/bunkable Twin XL beds. Safety bars are an important part of each loft kit and are used to stabilize the bed. Loft kits are available upon request through the beginning of the year or through a Residence Life staff member.

Heating

To address residents’ comfort while conserving energy, Physical Plant follows this schedule: Heat is provided from October through April. As the need arises, the Physical Plant office, in consultation with the Office of Residence Life and the National Weather Service, may adjust the established heating “on” and “off” dates. Due to the size and complexity of the College’s heating system, it may take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours for the effects to be realized within the halls.

Personal space heaters are not permitted in individual residence hall rooms or other residential spaces. Students should contact their Resident Assistant if they are finding issues with the temperature of their room. If it is determined that the temperature is not within acceptable limits the Resident Assistant will make the appropriate contact with the Physical Plant Office. If the Physical Plant Office deems the heat to be malfunctioning, the Physical Plant Office will provide an appropriate temporary solution until the heating issue is resolved.

Outdoor Areas

Outdoor areas are public spaces and should therefore be free of clutter and storage of students’ belongings. Specifically, Berlin Village residents may decorate the porch of their unit. However, decoration must be tasteful, uncluttered, and must not limit egress from the unit.

Items such as bikes, shoes, and furniture should not be stored outside the Berlin Village townhouses.

Students are not permitted to have grills except for those provided to Berlin Village residents through reservation in the Office of Residence Life.
