Accommodations

Families may rent either a double room or a suite, which includes two rooms and a shared bathroom, in Carman Hall during graduation week. Each room has two twin-sized beds and is fully furnished with standard residence hall furnishings. Although bed linens, a pillow, a blanket, and towels are provided, guests may wish to bring other personal items such as an alarm clock, hangers, and extra towels for their personal use. Bathrooms are cleaned daily, while bedrooms are the responsibility of the guest.
