Your building

Things to remember

Living on campus comes with a lot to keep track of—but we've got you covered. This section highlights the need-to-know info to help you make the most of your time in your building. 

  • Do not tamper with or hang items from the smoke detectors and/or fire sprinkler head.
  • Only use CommandTM hooks, tacky putty, or painter's tape to hang decorative lights and other items.
  • IU does not accept liability for personal belongings, so residents must secure their own renter's insurance. GradGuard, an authorized insurance provider for IU, offers insurance quotes.
  • Trash and recycling bins are provided in all rooms.
  • Do not place furniture in front of or hang items on the HVAC unit. 
  • To explore different bed options for your room and make appointments for bed rearrangement, visit our vendor Bedloft's website. The mattresses provided are extra-long twin size and have a height of 20 inches from the floor.
  • Use surge protectors and connect them directly to wall outlets. Avoid connecting extension cords and surge protectors in a series. Ensure that all electrical appliances are UL listed, have thermostatic controls if necessary, and are rated at 700 watts (6 amps) or lower.
  • Furniture cannot be removed or stored outside of the room.
  • Fire-retardant blinds and/or curtains are provided and must not be taken down. The buildings are air-conditioned and the windows cannot be opened.
