Living On Campus
Furniture
Standard Dorm Room Furniture
Your dorm room is furnished with one adjustable-height bed frame and mattress (requiring extra long twin size sheets), one dresser, one desk and one chair for each person living in the room, as well as waste and recycling baskets. Although not standard for every room on campus, some dorm rooms may contain book shelves. If you are living in a suite with a common area, no additional furniture is provided for that space.
Closets/Wardrobes
One closet or one wardrobe is provided for each person living in a room. Wardrobes are bolted to the wall for stability and may not be moved under any circumstance. Moving a wardrobe will result in unsafe conditions and will cause damage to the wall. There are penalties for moving a wardrobe.
Configuring the Furniture in Your Room
With the exception of wardrobes which are attached to the wall, you are permitted to make changes to the configuration of the furniture in your room. If you have a roommate, coordinate the change and then arrange the furniture to your liking.

Loft Regulations
If you choose to loft your bed your loft must comply with specific regulations concerning size and placement in the room. If you loft your bed your bed frame must remain in your room. During the normal fire inspection process your loft will be inspected to insure that these guidelines have been met. The Living Policies and Dining Services Guide issued by the Housing Office provides greater detail. A loft kit may be purchased or rented through Princeton Student Agencies. All lofts must be dismantled and removed prior to Move Out.
