Yes, we want you to make your room feel more comfortable, but there are some very important guidelines you must follow. Any decorating tools which damage surfaces (e.g., carpet tape, duct tape, double stick tape, glue, nails, staples, etc.) are prohibited. Sticky tack that is meant to be removable is the approved method for securing lightweight decorations to walls and doors in the residence hall. It is important that residents apply and remove the adhesive correctly, so please read and follow the directions. Affixing objects to the walls or other room surfaces may pose a safety hazard, so think carefully about placement above beds, doors, etc. If a resident chooses to adhere decorations, he/she assumes the personal responsibility for any damage or injury the object may cause.

Please note that students are prohibited from hanging or altering the blue vinyl wall that is in each room.
