Making your room more like home:  To learn about the dimensions and amenities of your assignment, please visit http://www.elon.edu/e-web/students/reslife/residencelifeataglance.pdf. For a list of items to bring, go to www.elon.edu/e-web/students/residencelife/bring.xhtml

MicroFridge: Have a microwave and refrigerator all-in-one waiting for you in your room for $160.00 per year. These unique designed units are the only microwaves allowed in residence halls (except in kitchenette space in Danieley). To rent a MicroFridge, please log on to https://www.elon.edu/webservices/housing/microfridge.aspx.

Extra Long Sheets: All our mattresses take extra-long sheets. Order soon for the best colors, and help the Resident Student Association raise funds in the process. You can log on at www.rhl.org/elc or call 1-800-957-4338.

Carpet:  Elon campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity sponsors carpet sales through a company called On Campus Marketing. You can make your purchase directly at www.ocm.com/elc.

Phone Service: A hall phone is available in each residence hall or common area for emergencies and on-campus dialing.  To make long distance calls, a student may take advantage of one or more of the following options:

• Cell phones
  
• Prepaid phone cards (available for purchase in the book store and at various merchants)
• Calling cards (offered by various long distance providers)
• 1-800 service for your home ( e.g. http://www.enjoyprepaid.com, http://www.discountlongdistancerates.com )

Resource Book:  Elon students and parents may purchase the book, The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College. The book is recommended nationally by many colleges and universities, and its goal is to help students talk to each other about issues and establish communication that will avoid roommate conflicts.

Mail Services: Campus mailboxes are assigned in June & July. If you are going to send packages and boxes for the opening of the semester, you can go to Mail Services Web site at www.elon.edu/mail for the proper addressing format.

Renter's Insurance: While Elon University cannot and does not cover students' lost, stolen or damaged property; we certainly recognize your need for ensuring the safety of your property. Elon University is a safe and caring environment, but, like your home, it still requires forethought about protecting personal belongings. We encourage you to look over the website, talk to your insurance agent and consider some form of renter's insurance.
