Room and Amenities
Room types
Residence hall rooms are typically assigned as "doubles," or two people sharing a room. In Draper/Siedschlag and the Burnhams there are a limited number of architecturally larger rooms designated as triples and quads. Henry, Hoekje and Bigelow halls also have triple rooms. Single room assignments may be available in all halls for an additional per-night rate depending on demand.
Furniture
Each room is furnished with beds and mattresses, desks and desk chairs, draperies or blinds, chest drawers, a closet or wardrobe, and lights. The specific furniture provided in each hall is listed on the hall description page. You are welcome to supplement these furnishing with your own furniture and carpeting to make your room more personal. All halls have either loftable beds or bunkable beds to accommodate additional floor space. The furniture provided by the University is not allowed to leave the residence hall.
Utilities
A major benefit of living in a residence hall is the ease with which you move in. Unlike an apartment, all utilities, as well as basic cable and local phone service, are connected and available when you arrive. No need to worry about monthly bills!
Telephone
A telephone line with local service is available in every room. Students will need to bring their own phone, and we suggest a pre-paid calling card for long distance calls. Voice mail and other phone options are available for a minimal charge from WMU Telecommunications.
Cable television
Each room is wired to receive basic cable television access at no additional charge. Expanded cable is available for an additional fee. See WMU EDUCable for more information.
Internet access
All rooms are connected to ResNet, the high-speed residential computing network at WMU. An Internet fee will be charged to each student's WMU account. Visit the ResNet website for details.
