and toilet stalls. Residents very rarely have to wait to use the bathroom
facilities. The bathrooms in a community style hall are cleaned daily Monday

room. These bathrooms are cleaned prior to the residence hall opening and
at the Winter Break. The residents are responsible for cleaning on a regular
basis.

of where you are assigned. If
you ever change halls you would not have to replace your sheets.
Where

The Inter-Residence Hall Council (IRHC) sells carpets
