Stevenson Hall residents will see the modification of double rooms into single “k- suites,” available across from resident assistant rooms. More Thomas Hall residents also will have access to a few more single rooms in the fall. These improvements do not come cheap how- ever, as residents will be charged up to a total of $550 dollars for the modified rooms. This fee may need to be reviewed after housing officials find out how much furniture students desire in the rooms. While housing officials are taking student wishes into account while making these changes, there should not be more furniture available to students living in a single than students living in a double room, especially if it will raise the housing fees even higher. Every room needs a bed, a closet, a dresser and a lamp. Students can add their own personal items to make the room more their own.
