We feel that it is important that you personalize you space. Posters, plants, bedspreads and a throw rug can help make your room seem more like home. However, we do ask that you avoid doing things that will damage the walls or woodwork. For example, transparent tape is almost impossible to clean off. Masking tape and self-adhesive tape/hooks can be used with care but may pull paint off walls. Carefully review the manufacturer’s suggestions for removing these products. Blue tape and white adhesive putty is highly recommended because of their easy removal. The question to ask yourself is whether you will be able to return your room to its previously unimaginative condition at the end of your stay. Money will be taken from your deposit if cleaning or repairs are needed to return the room to its original condition. All room furnishings must stay in the room. Talk with your roommate about TV’s, Stereos, CD Players, etc., which you might be able to share.
