Residence Life Frequently Asked Questions How are room assignments made? Room assignments are made based on the date of your deposit in the Admissions Office. We try to match roommates based upon the answers you provide on the Housing Information form. Therefore, it is imperative that you be as honest as possible in regard to your personal study and lifestyle habits. When will I find out what my room assignment is and who my roommate will be? Housing confirmations will be sent to all students in late July. The information you receive will include your room assignment, as well as the name, home address and phone number of your roommate. Once you receive your housing confirmation, it is a good idea to contact your roommate to start to get to know him/her and to decide who will bring the vital room "stuff," e.g. the stereo, TV, etc. What can I do if I want to live with a specific person? There is a space on the Housing Information form where you can request to live with a specific roommate. Only mutual, written requests can be honored. What are the room, bed, and window measurements? Specific room information can be found under the "Residences" portion of the Residence Life web pages. What size sheets should I buy? Mattresses are 75" or 80" depending on the room. We suggest that you purchase the extra long sheets. What about laundry services? Each residence hall is equipped with washers and dryers. What can I bring to college? Please review the "What to bring to College" web page. What furniture is provided? Each room has a bed, desk, chair, closet, mirror, and dresser for each occupant. Can I get a refrigerator once I get to L-R? Unfortunately at this time Lenoir-Rhyne College does not rent refrigerators . Will my room be cleaned Housekeeping cleans common areas such as lounges and hallway bathrooms. You are responsible for cleaning your own room. Does the school have insurance for the property I bring to school? No. Please be sure your parents check their homeowner's insurance to have your property adequately covered. Can I live off-campus? Students who are seniors, part time, married or above the age of 22 are permitted to live off campus. Also, students who live with their parents within a 40 mile radius do not have to live on campus. Can I have a car on campus? Yes. All students, faculty, staff of the College who operate a motor vehicle to, from, or on the campus are required to register the vehicle with the Security Office. Yearly parking registration costs $40.00. Parking an unregistered vehicle on campus will result in a $30.00 fine. Can I study in my room? Quiet
hour guidelines are established in order to respect the rights of others
and to maintain an appropriate atmosphere for academic pursuits.
Quiet hours are from 9:00pm to 9:00am Sunday through Thursday (this
includes Friday morning to 9:00am) and 12:00 a.m. to 9:00am Friday and
Saturday. During
exam periods, Quiet Hours are in effect 24 hours a day beginning the night
prior to Reading Day.
Quiet Hours mean residents must maintain a very low level of
conversation, noise, TV/stereo volume during Quiet Hours.
Consideration hours are all hours not designated as quiet hours.
Consideration hours mean that noise must be kept at a level that is
not disturbing to other residents.
No student shall act in a manner that can reasonably be expected to
infringe upon the privacy, rights, privileges, health or safety of other
persons. Screaming/yelling
anywhere in the Residence Halls is discouraged.

is a fair expectation that every student may have opportunity for privacy
in their room without the presence of members of the opposite gender.

opposite gender visit in their residence hall rooms only during the
following hours:

host will be deemed a cohabitant. Cohabitation
is defined as a guest staying longer than three consecutive nights and /or
staying for three or fewer consecutive nights on two or more occasions
during the same week. Failure to comply with this policy may result in
sanctions and may jeopardize access to campus housing. Where can I get my mail? We offer postal services at the campus post office, located on the lower level of the Cromer Center. What happens if I can't stand my roommate? The first few weeks of school are important to building a good roommate relationship. Open communication is the key to this relationship. If, however you are unhappy, contact the Residence Life staff in your building. If absolutely necessary, roommate changes will be considered after the first four weeks of school. Tell me a little bit about the staff. The Residence Life program is directed by the Associate Dean of Students and 3 Area Coordinators. We have @ 30 Resident Assistants (specially trained undergraduate students), spread throughout the campus. What happens when I arrive? You will be issued a key for your room and other information. You will have time to move in and enjoy Orientation Activities.
