Residential Life Accomodations & Facilities

Accommodations

Additionally:
No structure is to be constructed in or for a room. Permissible furnishings brought by students include the following: small couch, stereo stand, small coffee table or night stand, bookshelf, or drafting table. Personal furnishings such as shelves, cabinets, etc. must be free standing and self supporting. They cannot rest on any piece of furniture and may not be anchored in any way to the walls or to NHTI furniture. Additional items should be approved by the Director of Residence Life prior to their placement in the residence hall.

Furnishings assigned to a room or public area will not be moved unless approved by a Residence Director. Furniture may not be removed, altered, or disassembled in or from its designated area. Any violation of these rules will result in a fine in addition to any cost incurred in the repair or replacement of the furnishing.

Pictures, banners and other wall hangings may be attached to the molding hooks or tack strips where appropriate. Additional items may be attached to the walls and furniture using “Hold It” plastic adhesive, which is available at the bookstore. No tape, putty or fasteners may be used to attach to walls, doors, ceiling, floor or furniture. Hangings may not be suspended from the ceiling.

State Fire Marshal recommendations preclude the use of ceiling or wall hangings due to the severe fire hazard they present. Additionally, there must be a clear pathway to the door to ensure an unobstructed exit. There should be no furniture, wall hangings, or other objects placed in front of the door. This includes sheets/blankets hanging from a bed which may obscure view.

Possession of any traffic and street signs is prohibited. Students found in violation of this policy will be required to return the item to its appropriate agency and provide proof of such action by presenting a receipt to the Residence Director.

Quiet/Study Hours
Large numbers of people living together often create noise and general disturbances inside and outside the residence areas. All must consider the other residents and must honor the request of any resident or staff member when asked that loud noises (radios, TVs, etc.) be turned down.

Quiet Study Rooms
In each residence hall, there are study lounges with tables, desks, chairs, etc. Students should be considerate of each other when studying in these areas. Students may use the Quiet Study Rooms at any time.

Courtesy hours are from 8 p.m. - 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 p.m. - 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Courtesy hours are designed to allow those who wish to study or sleep during this time the opportunity to do so without undue interruption.

Quiet Hours are from 10 p.m. - 10 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 12 a.m. - 10 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Quiet hours are designed to be a time when the residence hall is extremely quiet to allow for studying and sleeping. There should be no excessive noise at other times. Students who violate the quiet hour policy may face disciplinary action. Continued violations emanating from excessive volume may result in confiscation of equipment. No parties, socials or gatherings that would be disturbing to other residents of the hall will be allowed in the residence halls during mid-semester test week or finals week.

Recreational Equipment
Each of the residence halls is equipped with some recreational equipment which is available to resident students. Use of this equipment requires that students take an active role in preventing damage or abuse to the facilities or equipment.

Ping pong, foosball and pool tables are available in each hall for student use. Students should contact a Hall Council member to sign out equipment. Resident students must forfeit their ID card as collateral for the equipment.

Telephone, Internet and Cable Service
Internet connections and cable television service are provided to each residence hall room through Comcast without additional charge. Cable television service is also provided to all residence hall lounges. There are public telephones available on each floor for student use. Most rooms are equipped with phone jacks if you would like a phone in your room. This should be something you discuss with your roommate. If you are interested in a phone for your room, you can call Verizon at 1-800-870-9999 to arrange service after you arrive on campus. This would be an independent contract you enter into with Verizon. NHTI assumes no responsibility in this matter.

TV Lounge
Each residence hall is equipped with at least one television lounge. Each TV is equipped with basic cable.

Vending Machines
Are located in the residence areas for your convenience. Vandalism may result in the removal of these machines.
