We suggest roommates bring the following items: o Broom/dust pan o Rags/sponges/cleaning brush o General cleanser/glass cleaner o Bucket for supplies o Mop for bathroom/shower floor o Small vacuum (optional - a vacuum is available in each residence hall for student use)
Items NOT to bring:	• Halogen Lamps (These lamps get very hot and are an extreme fire hazard.) • Pets of any type • Candles or any open flame • Sun Lamps • Air Conditioners • Toaster Ovens • Woks • Deep Fryers • Hot Plates or any open coils (Foreman grills are hotplates.) • Oil based Popcorn Poppers • Live Christmas Trees or Garland • Any Flammable Decorations made of cotton batting straw, vines, leaves, shrubbery or foam plastic • Firearms or other weapons • Lofts: Lofting pieces are available for Rollins, Winship, and Manget Halls. The furnishings in the Appleby Complex and the New Hall are not compatible for lofting purposes. No outside lofting units or construction is allowed in any buildings. If the furnishings are rearranged in any residence hall room, all College supplied furniture, including beds and mattresses, are to remain in the room. If you disassemble College furniture, it must be reassembled before you check-out.
Student Property Insurance	Young Harris College's property coverage does not cover the personal effects of students. Students and parents should review the availability of coverage under the parent's homeowner or tenant insurance policy. If this coverage is not available, you may want to consider purchasing a policy. One agency that specializes in this type of policy is: CSI Insurance Agency, Inc. 104 Bombay Lane P.O. Box 1207 Roswell, GA 30077-1207 Telephone 888-411-4911 www.collegestudentinsurance.com
Student Automobiles	All students are permitted to have and operate an automobile on campus. Vehicles are registered with the Young Harris College Police Department, and must bear a parking decal for the assigned parking area. Vehicle registration is $25 for each semester billed to student accounts.
Student Telephones	Should a student need or require a telephone in his/her room one may be rented from the business office for a refundable deposit of $100. These telephones operate over the campus intranet system therefore a regular telephone will not work!
Computer Use	In addition to the campus computer labs, students can access the campus computer network and the Internet from their residence hall room (Ethernet 10/100Base-T Adapter required). For information about computer compatibility with the campus system, contact Mr. Matt Manous, Technology Specialist, at 706-379-3111, ext. 5213.
Student Mail	Off-campus mail is delivered to the Young Harris U.S. Post Office. Students may rent a post office box when they arrive for the Fall and Spring semesters.
Laundry Facilities	Each residence hall has value-card operated washers and dryers. Each resident student receives one card valued at $50 at the beginning of each semester. Additional cards may be purchased through the business office in $50 or $25 increments each.
Smoking	All buildings on the Young Harris College campus are completely smoke-free, including residence halls. All smoking will need to take place out of doors, at least 20 feet away from buildings, breezeways, and balconies in designated smoking areas.
