 Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT ARE THE HOUSING OPTIONS?

Burke-Griffeth is our traditional residence hall; one floor is designated for male students and one floor for female students. Womack Hall is our newest residence hall: one floor is designated for women, one floor is designated for men and one floor houses male and female upperclassmen students. Mom Richart apartments are comprised of double and single occupancy units, so floors can easily accommodate both males and females. The Works Village apartments have single and double occupancy apartments in multiple buildings. Every apartment has its own kitchen, bathroom, and living room.

WHAT INTERNET ACCESS IS AVAILABLE ON CAMPUS?

Every building and residential area has free WiFi available to students. If you are having trouble connecting to the Bushnell University internet, please contact the Help Desk.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING WITH ME FOR LIVING IN CAMPUS-PROVIDED HOUSING?

Bushnell University provides beds, dressers, desks, and chairs for each student. Anything else the student would like to have must be purchased. Here are some specific things to remember:

Bring bed linens for extra-long twin beds.

Bring a surge-protected power bar. Fire codes prohibit the use of extension cords of any kind in the living areas. Only power bars with surge protectors are allowed.

We recommend that you contact your future roommate to coordinate bringing larger items like a TV, large chairs, couches, mini-fridge, etc.

WHAT NOT TO BRING:

• Firearms, ammunition, weapons
• Pets that won’t live underwater
• Candles, incense

when will i find out where i am assigned and who my roomate(s) will be?

We typically send out room assignments in mid-July. When you receive your room assignment, it will include the name and contact information for your roommate.

how many roomates will i have?

Typically only one roommate. Our standard housing options are double-occupancy. There are some options that involve a single or triple room in Burke-Griffeth Hall; however, those are very limited and are only considered under unique circumstances.

when can i move in?

The official check-in day for fall is the first day of Orientation, where you will receive your keys. Some students are required to move in early because they are involved with an athletic team, music group, or other activity. If you are involved with one of those groups, you will receive specific information about your arrival date.

where do i go to check in?

Specific instructions will be given prior to your arrival on campus. Check-in will take place in the Hutchins Hall in the Morse Center.
