If you are planning on bringing a fitted sheet, please note that the mattresses at the University of Virginia are sized twin extra-long. Regular twin flat sheets, comforters, and blankets will still fit the mattress. A mattress pad is provided for each bed. Economy Housekeeping Service is provided Monday through Friday. Housekeeping will clean the common living areas and common baths ONLY. Please remove all personal belongings from common areas in order to assist the Housekeeping staff with cleaning the areas; Housekeeping will deny service to any guest who does not comply with this request.

All University housing offers ROLM phones in each room. The lines are digital and cannot be used with computer modems. All University ROLM phones are equipped with individual voice mailboxes and pass codes. The pass code for your voice mailbox will be distributed at check-in. All phone lines are toll-restricted. A toll restricted line does not allow a caller to dial long distance directly; rather, all long distance calls must be charged to a credit card or be made collect.
Each room also comes equipped with an Ethernet jack for your use. You are responsible for providing your own Ethernet cable. If you have a computer with an Ethernet card, you will be able to utilize it in your room.

A Conference Services staff member will be happy to point out the public lab closest to your housing area. If you bring a computer to grounds and wish to access the internet, you will be issued a password to enter the University's system at check in.
With the exception of service animals, no pets are allowed in the residence areas. Any guest that arrives with a pet will be denied housing and will not be refunded. Guests who unlawfully bring animals will be billed for the cost of fumigating their accommodations upon departure.
