Please feel free to browse the Q&A below. You can also contact the housing coordinator by calling (920) 832-6765 if you cannot find the answer to your question below.
Can you loft the beds?
You may loft your beds by stacking your furniture with bunk pins, available at your hall front desk when you arrive. Please do not build your own loft, as they are not allowed.
Can you bunk the beds?
Yes, in all of the halls you may bunk your beds. You’ll need to get bunk pins that will lock the two beds together from your hall front desk upon arrival to campus.
Why don’t first year students get assigned to Hiett Hall?
Students on the LUCC Residence Life Committee decided when Hiett was built to limit Hiett Hall to upper class students only.
Why type of flooring will I find in my room?
All of the halls have tile flooring except for Ormsby which has hard wood flooring. Most halls have a broom and dust pan available for easy cleaning. You can check out the dimensions of your room by clicking on the floor plan links.
Do you have microwaves in your building?
Since microwaves are not allowed in the rooms, each floor is equipped with a microwave. You will also find one in the hall kitchen. The only floor that does not have its own microwave is 2nd floor of Ormsby hall.
Do you supply or rent out refrigerators?
We do not supply or rent out refrigerators but you may bring one of your own, up to 4.4 cubic feet.
Do you have a fireplace?
All of the halls except for Ormsby and Kohler have fireplaces in the main lounges.
Why didn’t I get my first choice hall?
Every effort is made to place new students according to preferences. However, this can prove to be very difficult due to returning student’s preferences, your date of deposit and space available to first year students. We ask that new students keep an open mind regarding hall assignments, as each hall has a positive atmosphere with unique traits.
Where should I do my banking?
When you arrive to campus there will be a student services fair where several different banking representatives will greet you. At that time you can compare rates as well as find out what is close to campus.
What size sheets do I need? How large are the mattresses?
We recommend buying the extra long sheets. Matresses are 36" x 6" x 80".
