Your Room

We'd like you to become familiar with the Student Code of Conduct and the Residence Hall Policies before you arrive and during your time on campus, so you're clear on the expectations of being a community member at WPI. They provide the guidelines, policies, and procedures involved in being a part of the herd.

For many of you, this will be your first experience living away from home. For some, it will be your first experience sharing a room.

Certainly, roommates do not need to be best friends, but our hope is that you will learn to feel comfortable living together. It's important that you take the time to learn about each other—what you like or dislike, your personalities, backgrounds, and sleep and study habits. This is important even if you have been friends before coming to WPI. The following resources are designed to help roommates get to know each other, and avoid conflicts that may arise. Residents are also encouraged to bring any issues to their resident advisor who is trained to handle and help alleviate, situations that may arise between roommates.

Having a conflict and not sure what to do?

1. Talk with your resident advisor to discuss what is going on and options available.
2. Ask your resident advisor or community director for a roommate conflict guide to help manage what is going on in your room.
3. Connect with your community director to discuss what options you have.

Need something repaired in your room? 

Reach out to your resident advisor or another building resident advisor by finding them during their office hours or email them. 

Emergency repair needed? 

Call Campus Police at 508-831-5433 to report an emergency.  Remember that an emergency means actively running water, power/breaker outage, etc.

WPI does not have space to store any furniture assigned to a room when residents bring additional furniture to decorate their rooms. The furniture provided in floor and hall lounges is intended for the use of all students and is not to be moved without the permission of the staff.
