Bedroom Furnishings
Each bedroom comes with a set of furniture per student, which includes a bed, desk, desk chair, dresser drawers, and wardrobe/built-in closet.
Furniture is placed in rooms based on the number of students living there.
Bedroom Furniture Specifics
Across all University Housing, there are several styles of furniture used in different Residence Halls depending on when they were built or have needed to be replaced. On the page for each building, you can find specific information about special furniture arrangements or built-ins in different rooms. Each room is set up with the furniture arrangement that fits best in that space and is equitable to each resident. Housing Services cannot take requests to remove furniture or swap one piece out for another. All furniture present in the room when the student moves in must remain in the room.
Bed Information
The metal frame that the mattress rests on can be set so that the underbed height is either 14" or 22".
All University beds can be bunked. Students choosing to bunk their University beds must do so using University issued bunking pins. Bunking pins are available upon request on opening day and throughout the year at the Office of Housing Services. Bed rails are required for students who choose to bunk their University-issued beds. Bedrails will be delivered shortly after bunking pins are issued.
Beds may only be lifted off the ground by bed risers. One set of bed risers is permitted per bed but cannot be used in conjunction with bunk beds. Bed risers are not provided by the University.
Twin XL Beds and Mattresses
The majority of the beds across campus have standard Twin XL mattresses.
Bed Frame Dimensions: 85'' x 40'' x 36''
Mattress Size: 80'' x 38''
Twin Beds and Mattresses
Beds in the Residence Hall McClintic-Marshall, and a select number of beds in Dravo House, are twin-size rather than Twin XL.
Bed Frame Dimensions: 80'' x 38'' x 36''

There are several different types of desks used across University Housing. The walkthrough tour on each Residence Hall webpage will show the most common type of desk in that space. Every desk also has a chair.
This older style of desk has two box drawers, a file drawer, and a pencil drawer.
This desk comes in two sizes:
45'' x 24'' x 30''
42'' x 24'' x 30''
The newer style of desk has one pencil drawer and separate set of moveable drawers (cubie).
The pedestal desk can come in three sizes:
45'' x 24'' x 30''
42'' x 24'' x 30''
36'' x 24'' x 30''
Drawer Dimensions: 18'' x 22'' x 24''
Some photos and walkthrough tours may show desks with hutches. These hutches are no longer available and students should not expect that their desk will have one.
There are three types of dresser drawers used across University Housing. The arrangement and type of drawers is dependent upon the size of the space, the number of people living there, and whether or not the room has a built-in closet. One Residence Hall can have different types of dressers depending on the room.
Many rooms will have one or two of these stackable 2-drawer dressers. These can be stacked or kept separate and stored under the bed.
Dimensions: 30'' x 20'' x 22''
Other rooms will have a 4- or 5-drawer dresser. This picture shows one with five drawers.
5-Drawer Dimensions: 30'' x 20'' x 47''
4-Drawer Dimensions: 30'' x 20'' x 36''
Residence Hall Rooms that do not come equipped with built-in closet space for each student may have wardrobes. The webpage for each Residence Hall will say if rooms have a wardrobes, closets, or both.
Wardrobes come in 3 sizes. All wardrobes have a clothes rod, and some also have a drawer on the bottom.
