Common Areas in Residential Spaces (lounges, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, stairwells, lobbies, etc.)

General Common Areas

Common Areas in residential spaces are intended for the use of all students residing in the building or house. Furniture in these areas should remain in assigned spaces.  All residents of a community will be charged for damages or extra cleaning that occurs in common areas.

Common Area Kitchens

When using common area kitchens, residents should clean up after themselves immediately. Dishes and cooking items should not be stored in common areas, but rather in student rooms. All items stored in common area refrigerators should be clearly labeled with resident name, room number, and date.
