HOME AWAY FROM HOME

DEPARTMENT OF UNIVERSITY HOUSING

Western Kentucky University recognizes that its residence halls plav a central role in most siudents' tolal educationa l experience. It is in the residence hall thai some 01 the mOSt significant personal growth and maturat ion occur. For many students. classrooms and libraries are simply where knowledge is "dispensed". The residence hall is where this information is reviewed, studied. discussed, Questioned, and yes, even sometimes discarded.

The residence hall is also where many students learn the l ine 8ft of getting along with others. Learning to peacefully and productively co-exist with other individuals i s funda­mental to overall success in li fe. Central to th is concept is the developme nt of a genuine concern for otner numan beings.

Tnerefore, Western seeks to provide an environmenttnat is compatible with, and su pportive of students' personal, socia l, pnysica l, spiritual, and intellectual development. Specifically, tne mission of the Department 01 University Housing is to provide a reasonably priced living/ learni ng environment tnat is clean, attractive, well maintained, safe, comfortable and considered by residents to be a positive and desirable community l iving arrangement. Evidence of our efforts to meet tnis goal include a blend of attractive facilities and a competent, entnusiastic staff . SlUdent responsiveness creates this stimulating environment.

Tne idea of moving into a situation wnere people from different backgrounds can learn more about each other should be very exc iting. Campus living provides the student with an opportunity to experience a more complete edu ­cation- sometning wnich goes far beyond tne formal class­room setting.

WKU students may choose from 17 residence halls- 4 for men, 11 for women, and 2 cooed facilities. We offer a variety of different living options designed to meet the needs of a diverse and cosmopoli ta n student population.

Each residence hall room is eQuipped to accommodate two studenls; each room is furnished wilh beds, chests of drawers, closet space, mirrors, desks. chairs, refrigerator and one active telepnone line and jack for local telephone service . l ong Distance service is available through AT&T.

WHAT TO BRING

Students shou ld furnish thei r own bed linens and pillow. AU beds are twin size; however, a few naUs nave extra long (80" ) mattresses. Please note Ine Fined Sneets entry in the Policies/ Services section.

Students snould also plan 10 bring personal items such as hair dryers,loiletries, towels, wash clotns, a laundry basket and wllsning supplies, ealing and cooking utensils, an iron, telephone, ala rm clock, various desk supplies including a dictionary, and clothes which are appropriate for the season.

Since it is normally rather warm at the very beginning of Fall Semester and at tne very end of Spring Semester, reside nts of non -air conditioned nails may want to consider bringing a small flln for use during these periods.

Also, tnere may be a few cool nignlS in tne Fall before the neat is turned on campus-w ide, so it might be wise 10 bring II10ng a blanket if you are cold nalUred.

Residents may also have small, compact microwave ovens in tneir fooms for personal use. larger models afe not permitted due to electrical regulalions.

Residents may also bring their own personal computers. as well as other electronic devices such as stereos, tele­visions. etc. Please keep in mind, however, that the Univer­sity assumes no l iabililty for damage or loss to these items which may occur while they are in the residence nai l.

Many students purchase carpet for their rooms. II you would like to do so, please consult the next few pages for an approximate floor plan of the rooms in your assigned residence hall .

It is always 8 good idea to discuss with your roommate who is planning to bring what prior to your arrival on­campus in order to avoid unnecessary duplication of some items (televisions, stereos, etc.).

A somewhat more detai led list ing of what is permissible in our residence halls is found witnin the Policies/ Services section of thi s publication .
