  • Twin XL bed with mattress
  • Desk, chair, and floor lamp
  • Two-drawer dresser
  • Closet or armoire

Each residence hall features a shared kitchen with a stove, refrigerator, and microwave—perfect for late-night snacks or cooking with friends.

Laundry Made Easy

Every hall has washers ($1.00 per load) and dryers ($0.50 per load) that use Claremont Cash loaded onto your student ID.

Good to Know

  • Leave your car at home! First-year students cannot have cars on campus unless approved for special circumstances.
  • Housing closes during winter and summer breaks—plan ahead for these times away.
