Housing is available on campus Thursday through Saturday during Reunion Weekend. Remember, residence halls do not have the same amenities as hotel rooms. Dorm rooms include overhead lighting, all bedding (sheets, blankets, pillow and pillowcases), towels, washcloths and soap. There are no mirrors, table lamps, trash cans or hangers in the dorm rooms. Rooms have twin beds only. If you require the “creature comforts” of home, a local hotel may be a better option.
