Which businesses give discounts to
UNF students with I.D. (to be added)
Specify what students are permitted
to hang on the walls:
Checkout the information on the Housing
Website under Future Residents – What to Bring and What not to
Bring and the Housing Handbook under Resources before purchasing anything
to decorate the room.
What not to bring: Nails and Hooks; No Paint; Drapes and
Tapestries (Fire Code); Electric Signs; Dart Boards; Doubled-sided Tape; Light
Boxes; Posters (promoting Alcohol and/or Drug related); fabric, metal, paper or
other wall hangings that cover over 30% of any wall.
Recommend over the door hangers to expand closet space and towel storage.
What
type and size storage containers fit with dorm furniture:
Students
are discouraged from bringing in additional furnishings due to space limitations
and safety reasons. Housing and Residence Life staff reserve the right to
have students remove personal furnishings from a room or limit the size allowed
if those furnishings are believed to pose a safety risk, create roommate conflicts,
impede movement within the room, or pose a fire hazard.
Lofts are not permitted in any room or apartment in the
residential area. Residents are not permitted to elevate furniture by use of
wood, cinder blocks, bed risers or any other
materials.
Moving anything in through first floor windows is a violation of safety
codes; and
though security is lax during move-in, anyone caught doing this can face a fine
as well as their student getting cited.
If
you leave the window open during move-in and leave the room empty,
personal items may be taken by others sneaking into the rooms in
all the confusion.
Advise parents to ask their students about contacting future roommates
prior to move-in. Students can figure out what the other has and what
doesn't need to be brought.
Let
Freshman parents know that there will be various clubs at the residence halls to assist
with move-in
