There are a number of questions SJU students have about what is not allowed in the dorms. Here is a helpful list to help you make informed decisions while you prepare to pack for life in the SJU dorms.
Don’t bring any of these things or you’ll be at risk of getting in trouble.
SJU already has furniture and clean mattresses for you.
SJU has Wi-Fi, thus, routers aren’t needed.
Sadly pets aren’t allowed for obvious reasons.
Instead, SJU provides you with a microwave.
Try a small area rug instead.
Bring something similar, like a reed diffuser or electric candles, but nothing that can start a fire.
Another fire hazard, so don’t even risk it.
Each room has AC/heat, so there’s no need for additional heaters.
Instead, bring a mini fridge or rent one from SJU to save you the hassle.
Just stick to your cellphone; and if there’s ever an emergency, there’s a phone located in the lobby of your building at the front desk.
SJU doesn’t allow students to sign in genders of the opposite sex overnight.
Opt for some flannel sheets and a down comforter during the winter months instead.
Changing the walls in your dorm will result in a fine; but to spruce them up you can hang pictures, tapestries, and any reminders of home.
A big NO.
You can bring storage, but not storage that is too big and won’t even fit in your new space.
Placing adhesive on the floors will also result in a fine, so warm up your space with an area rug instead.
Don’t risk getting in trouble by having too many people in your room late at night.
There is a kitchen on one floor of all the residence halls, and each Townhouse has its own oven.
