Accommodation details

The department of residence life at Northern State University believes that because all students are not alike, the housing in which they live should not necessarily be similar. As a result, a variety of physical facilities and living situations on campus are provided from which the student, may choose. It includes Briscoe hall, Jerde hall, Kramer hall, Lindberg hall, Mcarthur-Welsh (McWelsh) hall, Steele hall and Steele hall. All halls are designated as no smoking halls. Changes in hall designations may occur without advance notice. A hall is designated for a certain sex based on occupancy projections made in early spring or summer. If, at some point prior to opening the halls a change in the number of spaces available to men and/or women is indicated, they must make this change and reassign the affected students. Although each hall has definite characteristics that make it unique, some services offered are common to all halls. Lobbies with TV’s, kitchen areas, computer labs (only in Briscoe, Jerde, and Steele) are provided in each hall for use by the residents and their guests. Vending machines and free laundry facilities are also found in each hall. All double rooms are beige in color and are equipped with two single beds (bunk-type), dressers, desks and chairs. Students will need to provide their own pillow and linens, bedspread, curtains, telephone, lamp and any other decoration as student may wish. They may bring a refrigerator (up to 4.6 cubic feet) if you wish, but no other appliances are allowed with the exception of hair dryers, popcorn poppers, and coffee pots. Multiple plugs and extension cords without a circuit breaker are strictly prohibited. Carpet may be placed in room, but rubber backed carpet is prohibited due to fire regulations. Suite bedrooms are set up with loft able bunk beds, desk, dresser, closet or wardrobe. The living rooms consist of a couch and chair, table with chairs. Blinds are provided in all rooms on campus.
