SUITE STYLE
Like all rooms at Milligan, the Village rooms are suite-style. Each suite consists of five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a common living room with a full kitchen. Each room is furnished with an appropriate number of standard single beds, mattresses, desks, dresser, chairs, and closets. You are encouraged to make your room a comfortable living environment. Bring plants, posters, chairs, tables, lamps, shelves, game systems, TVs, and more!
The five buildings of Village surround a green space used for outdoor events including intramural games. There is also a sand volleyball court and picnic tables. The Village sits at the top of campus close to Hart, Sutton and Williams halls. Sidewalks make easy travel between residence halls and lead across the parking lot to The Gilliam Wellness Center.
SINGLE GENDER
All residence halls at Milligan are single-gender. There are a variety of open hours throughout the week but dorms are closed to the opposite sex at all other times.
CARING STAFF
The Webb Residence Hall staff maintains and promotes all areas of student development within the residence halls. Each Residence Hall has a Resident Director (RD) and Resident Assistants (RA) on staff to help residents with academic, housing, and personal problems, and to provide leadership, supervision, and programming for students.
ESSENTIALS:
- Command strips or sticky tack putty
- Tacks, tape, and nails are not allowed, so planning ahead to bring décor and shelves that will hang with either command hooks, strips, or putty will save at least an hour of frustration on move-in day.
- Plan to work with what is included
- Since you won’t be able to take any of the provided furniture out of the room, do what you can to make it your own and fun! You could make seat covers and cushions for your desk chair, play around with height and lofting of your bed, buy or make a mini shelf for your desk, or a number of other things.
