Every room on campus is furnished with a desk chair, bed with a standard-sized twin mattress, a closet and drawer space for each resident. Chaminade Hall and Périgueux Hall have XL-twin mattresses, and a limited number are available upon request for other buildings. Each residence hall room also has a sink (either in the adjoining bathroom or in the room), a window with blinds/shade, SpectrumU, air conditioning/heat, and one Ethernet port per resident.
