I have confirmed with a Warren Hall RA and this was their response:
All rooms in Warren are doubles with a private bath (except for the RA rooms which are just the RA in the double alone). Handicap rooms are also singles and can be requested. Contact ResLife for more information about special accommodations for disabilities.
As stated on our homepage, we are not affiliate with Res Life. For this reason we do not know when the application will be available, but typically it is released at the beginning of the Spring semester.
There is no way to get a lower lottery number.
You can request someone to be in the same suite/apartment as you, but not on the same floor. They can select the same floor as you but there is no way to request this.
Wardrobe (tall, 2 doors, rod and 2 large drawers on bottom) 6′ tall x 3′ wide x 2′ deep
3-drawer chest 38″ tall x 32″ wide x 19″ deep
Desk 32″ wide x 24″ deep (shelf on top of desk id 18″ above desktop)
Bed 38″ wide x 85″ long
E-Complex does have a laundry room in its basement. Like all laundry on campus, it is free for student use.
There is a housekeeping service that cleans your bathroom once a week. They do provide toilet paper, but it is very thin so some students still buy their own.
Carpeted
Suite bathrooms are cleaned once a week by the custodial staff.
Full size beds are provided in Polytech.
Yes Quad has AC.
The dorms are cleaned prior to your arrival but it is recommend you do some light cleaning before moving in.
There is laundry attached to one of the buildings in RAHPs B
Warren does not have AC. Cable hookups are in each room as well as the lounge.
Yes there will still be a privacy wall even if you are the only person in the room, since it was originally meant for 2 people. Thank you for clarifying your question!
I am a little confused by the question and have two answers depending on what you were asking:
If this does not answer your question please resubmit a question that is clearer. Thanks so much!
At this time we do not have any pictures of Church V, all of the pictures we have are posted. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Yes BARH triples have wardrobes for each student.
Curtains would be against fire code. In theory you are able to put them up and take them down before inspections, but it is not recommended.
No at this time nothing is included in a Stacwyck kitchen except your fridge, table and 4 chairs.
You are able to unloft a bed and just have to keep the materials in your room until the end of the year.
At this time we do not know the answer. Please contact ResLife to find out if this is allowed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
It is not bad to have a single as a freshman, some people actually prefer it. If you are worried about the social aspect you might just have to make more of an effort to meet people.
Please look at our BARH Picture Page. That has the most up to date pictures we have.
Wardrobe (tall, 2 doors, rod and 2 large drawers on bottom) 6′ tall x 3′ wide x 2′ deep
Yes, typically one of the beds is lofted/bunked.
There is no locking drawer in your desk at this time. The secure cable you are most likely refusing to is for your laptop that would secure to a desk for example. That way if anyone were to try and steal your laptop they would have to bring the table as well. Personally I did not feel the need for this cable and had no issue with security, but it should be noted I always locked my door to my room.
At this time we do not know of a place where you can find the dimensions. We also do not have those numbers unless people provide them to us. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
Normally you stay in Barton and Davison during SO because they are air conditioned. If you are living in either of these dorms during the year you can preview your room, but other than that you are unable to see your assigned dorm room.
All of the pictures we have are posted. Starting in the fall we will be able to obtain more pictures. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please use the search function of our website to see if your question has already been answered.
I would just look at the floor plans listed on RPI’s website http://reslife.rpi.edu/update.do?artcenterkey=72. They will have the most information. I should be noted that some lounges may included kitchens.
All laundry for Quad is in the archway. There are about 20 dryers and washers there.
Living room: two chairs, one couch, and one long coffee table
Kitchen: four chairs and one table
There is overhead lighting in Polytechnic.
Yes all rooms have tile floors. You are allowed to bring a rug as long as you take it home with you when you leave.
There are hallways in Quad, so don’t worry. Throughout NRB week, in dining halls and in classes are a great way to meet people.
All of the pictures we have are posted. Starting in the fall we will be able to obtain more pictures. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Each Quad room is a little different. For that reason we can not guarantee all quad doubles have the same layouts.
There are washing machines in the basement of each Freshman Five dorm.
At this time E-Complex and North Hall are closed for renovations and will reopen in the fall. For this reason we do not have any pictures.
Each dorm has quiet hours. While some dorms are known to be more quiet, it depends each year. I would personally say that Quad is pretty quiet.
The living room, hallway and each room is carpeted. The kitchen, sink area, and bathroom are tile floors.
The closest dorm to academic building that upperclassmen can live in at this time is Quad.
At this time the themed housing for D Arts is only for freshman. I am sure you can contact the program to still do things with them, but I am not totally positive.
While all Freshman dorms are pretty close to the Mueller Center, the closest dorm is Hall Hall.
I know people that have bought from the RPI store or brought their own. Most people seemed to be pleased with the RPI store, though I have heard about problems with them. That being said I honestly think either is fine and it comes down to price and look of the sheets.
You are allowed to bring your own microwave to put in your dorm.
D Arts is located in Cary Hall on the second floor.
All dorms have kitchens in either the specific apartment or on a floor. All dorms are conveniently located near class. At this time I have no specific recommendation for you since almost all dorms fit your requirements.
The housing portal lists all available options at the time. It appears there may not be any other single available at this time. If you really would like to have a single the only option I can suggest is to contact Res Life.
All dorms that house freshmen are close to classes.
I personally brought my own desk chair and was incredibly glad I did. I was one of the few people that was able to study in my room because it was comfortable. That being some some people do not want to bring their own chair because they still have to keep the school chair with them in the room (or else you will be charged for it). Also some people will just buy a cushion to put on the school chair to make it more comfortable.
The food at RPI is similar to most colleges, not terrible but not fantastic. You will learn to appreciate home cooked food after your first semester here. What meal plan depends on how much you normally eat and how much flex you want. I personally got 15 meals a week when I was a freshman and never even hit that. That being said, I know people that got higher plans and took advantage of them. It honestly just depends on how much you believe you will eat at college. Remember you can always increase your meal plan, but you can only decrease it the first week.
