A Happy Home

As the saying goes, “A Happy Home is A Healthy Home.”  Cleanliness contributes to a healthy home.  Students need to practice good cleanliness habits.  Similar to good hygiene by brushing teeth, showering and washing your hair, your residency needs attention too.  Your residency is more than just a building or structure.  It is your home (away from home) and Residence Life wants you to enjoy it.  However, since it is your home, you are responsible for maintaining it.  There are some basic and yet simple habits you can develop withi

Helpful Tips on Common Appliances

Refrigerator/Freezer:

• Appliance works best:
  • Do not block vents in the refrigerator or freezer sections. Overfilling and blocking the vents will prevent food from cooling or freezing.
  • Fill with food you are going to use within a 7-day span. Do not overload with food.
  • Adjust the thermostat setting in the middle and not to the highest position. Over freezing and over working units will cause the appliance to stop functioning normally.
