Housing

Students are divided by gender and marital status into the different buildings. Each cell group of 6–10 students lives on the same floor, with a minimum of 2 students per bedroom. Roommate and dorm room assignments are usually finalized about 2 weeks prior to Arrival Day. Feel free to contact Admissions at that time to find out about your housing assignment.

Furnishings

In all of the dorm buildings, all windows come with blinds, and the living areas are fully carpeted. Vacuum cleaners, mops, and cleaning supplies are supplied. Washing machines and dryers are free to operate – students must supply their own soap. There is a central laundry in a separate building close to the dorms, which is available for all students to use as needed.

Bedrooms

Bedrooms generally have twin-sized bunk beds; some will have standard twin beds. Married couples have queen-sized beds. Bedrooms generally come with one desk, chair, and bookcase per person, and one large 6-drawer dresser for every two people. In some rooms, students are asked to share a desk due to being in smaller quarters. Every bedroom has a closet.

Children are provided with twin beds and dressers, and when possible desks, chairs, and bookcases.

Sorry, we do not provide any X-Long mattresses, toddler beds or cribs.

Lounges

We provide basic furniture for the lounges (a couch, one or two chairs, one or more end tables, and one or more lamps).

Kitchens

In the dorms kitchen appliances provided are a microwave, toaster, gas oven/stove, and a full-sized refrigerator. There is plenty of cupboard space to store personal kitchen items. The student kitchen in the T.A Hegre Ministry Center has a work area, stove and refrigerator, but no cupboard space for storage.

Kitchens will normally have a set of dishes, silverware, cups, baking pans and cooking pots and pans, but we can’t guarantee that all kitchens will have adequate utensils, as items are sometimes broken or lost during the course of the year.

Family Housing

Couples with more than 1 child may be housed in Atkins Hall, a building typically designated for staff housing. Atkins consists of private, modestly furnished 2 and 3-bedroom apartments. Cleaning supplies and equipment are not provided for residents of Atkins. Student housing in Atkins Hall is subject to availability. Please contact the Dean of Women, Carol Freeman, if you wish to discuss your housing needs and options.
