FURNISHINGS AND APPLIANCES
On-campus rooms contain a dresser, a desk, a bed, and a chair for
each student, as well as curtains, mini blinds, or window shades.
(Curtains are provided in Warren Towers, Claflin Hall, Sleeper Hall,
Rich Hall, The Towers, 575 Commonwealth Avenue, and 1019 Commonwealth
Avenue.) Students should bring a mattress pad, pillows, extra-long
twin bed sheets (most beds are 80 inches long), a bedspread, blankets,
towels, a flashlight, a desk lamp, and a metal wastebasket.
In apartment-style residences, a refrigerator, a stove, a dining
table, chairs, and some comfortable seating are provided. Students
assigned to apartment-style residences must provide their own cooking
utensils, dishes, silverware, and cleaning supplies. In apartment-style
residences and rooms or suites with a bathroom, shower curtains
are provided.
Students are responsible for the furniture provided for them; furniture
may not be removed from any room, apartment, or common area (unless
authorized and moved by BU Housing staff). Students are
charged for the replacement of any furniture that is removed or
damaged. The University will charge students for removal of any
non-University furniture that is left in a room, apartment, or common
area at the end of the year. Furniture in the common areas is for
the use of students of the floor or house and cannot be moved from
that common area. Any student who appropriates common-area furniture
will be required to return it and may be sanctioned. If common-area
furniture is found in a student's room or apartment, the occupants
of the residence will be charged accordingly.
If any furniture is damaged or missing, students should report
it to the residence office and, when applicable, submit a request
for furniture to that office.
