Lofts: Students may choose to build their own loft unit in order to better utilize the space in a room. It is recommended that students review the room layout and consult with their roommates prior to constructing a loft. PSU does not provide any plans for lofts .... but does provide an outline of basic guidelines which must be followed in their construction. No loft construction project may be completed without adherence to these guidelines. The constructed loft shall be inspected and approved by an authorized residence hall staff member.

Important Notes!!!

Please use only power strips equipped with a circuit breaker rather than extension cords.

For fire safety reasons, the following are not allowed:

  • Open coil appliances (i.e. toaster ovens, hot plates, anything with an exposed heating element, etc.).
  • Leave your candles at home. They will be confiscated even if you don't plan on lighting them.
  • Halogen lights / lamps of any kind.

There is NO STORAGE available in the Residence Halls. Please only bring what will help you in transition.

Can I Move-in Early?: During the summer Plymouth State operates many conferences, events, and special functions that utilize the residence hall facilities. In addition to these functions we also take this time to renovate, repair, and clean the facilities. As a result, it is typically not possible to move in to your residence hall before the published opening day / time.
