Experience Real College Living in a Residence Hall
Part of getting the college experience is living in the residence hall. Students in Gies Summer Success Program will be living in Newman Hall. Newman Hall is equipped with large rooms, air conditioning, library, TV rooms, laundry rooms, game room, exercise room, vending machines, study lounges, music practice rooms, and 24-hour front desk services.
We do not recommend bringing a car to campus!
Move-In Checklist
Your room will have:
- desks with drawers
- desk chairs
- beds (with extra-long twin mattress)
- drapes or blinds
- locking closets
- smoke detector
- wastebasket
- pillow and blanket
- linens (weekly linen exchange)
- towel and washcloth (can be exchanged at the front desk)
Don’t try to bring everything you own—you can always get it later. There is no space for storage in most halls. You will also have a roommate, it is wise to coordinate on larger items.
Look at this checklist to help you out!
