Each residence hall has a lounge equipped with lounge furniture, as well as tables and chairs for games, studying, or small group meetings. Students should treat these common areas—and the rights of all others using the lounges—with respect and care.
Each residence hall has a laundry room with washers and dryers for student use. The machines are coinless, and there is no charge to residential students to use them. Since the cost of operating the machines is built into the housing fee, students living off campus are prohibited from using the washers and dryers in the residence halls. Students should not leave their laundry unattended, as the college assumes no responsibility for any personal items missing from the laundry facilities.
Kitchens in Dargan/Rovetti, Angell, Rosenthal, and Metz Halls are available for student use to prepare personal meals or to practice culinary arts skills. Hours of operation are posted and are subject to change. Students are responsible for supplying their own ingredients, utensils, and other small equipment that may be needed. Students must clean up the kitchen area after use. Students must also clearly label all personal food items stored in the kitchen refrigerators per ServSafe standards. Unlabeled food, or items that appear improperly stored or are becoming rancid, are subject to disposal without notice by Residence Life staff. Residents of lodges and townhouses have common kitchens subject to the same rules of use and cleanup. Kitchen privileges, or the privilege to visit or reside in college housing, may be revoked if the college determines that a student has abused the existing kitchen privileges.
Computer labs are located within the residence hall lounges. Students have access to library holdings at the CIA, as well as employment listings and Internet access from these areas. The college provides wireless Internet access in the residence halls. You may connect any Wi-Fi devices you bring to campus for Internet access. For detailed instructions and troubleshooting, please visit the ITS Technology Essentials page on the CIA Main Menu. Any repairs to equipment in the computer labs need to be communicated to the residence director of that hall.
