There will be many trips between the car and your room during move-in. Plan to bring the minimum amount that you will need until the next time you go home. You will likely accumulate much more than you need by the end of the year. Coordinate with your roommates to avoid duplication.

• WiFi Printers are not allowed.  There are many accessible places to print on campus, and every student is given an allotment of print-credits to use.   WiFi Printers interfere with the campus WiFi. 

• Streaming Devices such as HomePod, Amazon Echo, Alexa, ROKU, etc...  are not designed for a corporate network and often cause WiFi interference.  If you bring one of these devices, they may not work, and you may have WiFi problems in your room.  We recommend leaving these devices at home.  

• Personal WiFi Routers are not allowed.

• TVs need to be newer than 2009 and have a digital tuner (called QAM) to work on the cable-TV network.  TVs prior to 2009 don't typically have a digital tuner. 

• Gaming Systems are best used with an Ethernet Cable.  Please bring a CAT6 Ethernet Cable to plug in your gaming system directly. 
   

• Computers: Windows 10/11 and iOS Devices Recommended (Dell, HP, Lenovo, MacBook, etc). Chromebooks are not compatible devices (Microsoft Office and some programs needed for online learning do not work on Chromebooks).

Each room on campus typically has two beds, two dressers, two wardrobes or closets, two desks with chairs, Internet ports, blinds, wastebasket, and recycling basket. That's where you take over. Make your room your home—add plants, rugs, carpets, lamps, and furniture. Bring your computer, alarm clock, and entertainment center. Give it your own sense of style. Make your room your own and unpack, unwind, and relax.

Extensive food preparation is not allowed in the residence hall rooms for sanitation and fire safety reasons.

University residence halls do not allow:..

• toasters
• toaster ovens
• electric frying pans and grills
• any cooking appliances with an open heating element
   

 We also do not allow microwaves within the residence halls. A toaster and microwave are provided in your floor lounge.

To store perishable food and chill beverages in your room, consider renting or bringing a refrigerator. The university has a number of refrigerators for rent. Students may rent a refrigerator for the school year and not have to store it when it may not be needed in future years. Information on renting a refrigerator is available at STAR Registrations during June and is mailed with your fall housing information. To learn more about the rental program, contact residencelife@viterbo.edu. 

If bringing your own refrigerator it cannot be larger than 4.5 cubic feet.

School-provided beds and mattresses are twin extra long. We recommend bringing twin extra long sheets for proper fit.

The Office of Residence Life has, through Residence Hall Linens (RHL), arranged a practical, convenient solution providing brand new, first quality, custom sheets priced under $20. Parents like this option because everything is guaranteed to fit and to last until graduation while being offered at an affordable price. Students like this option because they will have properly-sized sheets while "personalizing" their rooms. Many Viterbo University students take advantage of this opportunity and are pleased with the products. 

Last year over 70 percent of buyers purchased one of the convenient, discounted Value Paks. With a choice of three Value Paks in over 40 color combinations, it is an easy and affordable way to save money and get everything needed at once. Value Paks are shipped to your home for free. The program has proven to be a huge success at our school. Order online today at www.rhl.org/vit.

The beds provided are bunkable and most residents choose to bunk their beds. Homemade lofts are not allowed on campus, however, the Office of Residence Life offers a loft rental program through www.collegeproducts.com/vitu. These rented lofts are pre-approved for on-campus housing.The loft pieces are delivered to your room prior to move-in weekend with installation instructions.

NOTE: No furniture may be removed from residence hall rooms. You may disassemble the bunk beds, but must keep the bed frames in the room.

Since the rooms of Bonaventure Hall and Marian Hall have tiled floors you may consider bringing a carpet/rug. The Bonaventure Hall floor space for carpet is approximately 9' x 10' and the Marian Hall floor space for carpet is approximately 9'x13'.

The only pets allowed in campus housing are tropical fish. No other pets are allowed in campus housing, even for visits.

Bikes are a great way of transportation around the city. The university provides a number of bike racks around campus. We ask that all students who bring a bike to campus register their bike. A station will be set up outside Marian Hall where you can register your bike for $3. If your bike is registered, the university will provide storage for your bike during the winter months if needed.
