Living on Campus

All rooms are furnished with a desk, chair, bed, a closet and/or dresser, and Ethernet connection. Dimensions of the rooms will vary in size from hall to hall and room to room. We recommend that you wait until after you arrive on campus to consider buying rugs or other measurable decorative items.

You are not allowed to use nails or screws to attach anything to the walls or ceilings. Please investigate alternative, non-marring methods of attaching posters, pictures, etc., to the walls of your room. See Room Decoration Policy below.

Here are things you need to survive, things you might want to bring, some things to discuss with your roommate, and things that you are restricted from bringing. Please take a look and pack accordingly. Remember, this is just a start! If you have any questions on what you think you would like to bring but are not sure if it’s okay, please contact us at ResLife@reinhardt.edu. We are more than happy to answer any questions for you! And when in doubt, leave it out!

These devices are prohibited from being stored and/or charged inside any University facility including academic buildings and residence halls. Personal mobility devices such as wheelchairs (manual and power), mobility scooters, knee scooters, or other mobility devices prescribed by a physician which are used due to a disability are excluded from this policy. To be clear, e-scooters and e-micro-mobility devices should not be brought on to campus under any circumstances and may be confiscated if seen by Residence Life or Public Safety. In addition, there will be a $175 fine for e-scooters and e-micro-mobility devices found on campus.
• Decorating Room Policy – Students can decorate their assigned residence hall rooms. We recommend painters tape to hang decorations and all room personalization. We also recommend using mounting putty as it does not usually remove paint or cause damage to walls. Please test the putty product on one area of your wall before using in multiple areas. Adhesives such as 3M strips, screws, staples, tacks, nails are not permitted. LED strip lights and string lights are not permitted to be mounted or attached to walls or furniture, as they can damage the walls and furnishings. Residents will be held financially responsible for any damage caused by items placed in rooms.
