University houses and apartments are equipped with full kitchens and bathrooms and include all utilities (gas, electric, water, sewer, trash). Students are responsible for setting up their own telephone, cable, and internet accounts (access points are available in all properties). Most properties are not furnished and require students to bring their own furniture. None of the traditional houses or apartments have university provided laundry machines although some may have hook-ups available.
All properties have:
- Heat service but not central air.
- Kitchens equipped with fridge/freezer, stove/oven, and sink; some have dishwashers, although that is not common.
If residents want to bring in other appliances not already present in their unit (a/c units, laundry machines, etc.), they must request permission in advance and get approval from Residence Life and Facilities Maintenance prior to bringing the appliance. Students should keep in mind the overall electrical draw of the appliances they wish to bring.

Exterior | The exterior features of Witten'Burbs units vary by property. Occupants are responsible for all snow and ice removal from their property walkways and driveways (including the sidewalk along the street directly in front of their yard). The University takes care of mowing for Witten'Burbs properties (students must keep lawns free from obstructions) and snow/ice removal for common parking lots and apartment complex pathways. Occupants must keep the exterior in an orderly manner including refraining from using inappropriate window coverings, using uphostered/interior furniture outside, keeping exterior picked up, etc. Most Witten'Burbs parking is street parking. Parking is never permitted on lawns. All Witten'Burbs residents should register their vehicles through 果冻传媒 Police Division. |
Eligibility | Properties are limited to students who have 60 credit hours or more at the time of selection/assignment and have lived on campus for at least one year. |
Renewal | Properties are able to be renewed for consecutive years, but Residence Life reserves the right to remove a property from the Housing Selection at any time. Properties may also be removed or added to the available list of properties depending upon facility or University needs. |
Floorplans | Nearly all Burbs floor plans are available here. If you do not see a floor plan for your property, we do not currently have it but are working towards getting floor plans for all properties. Floor plans are not to scale and are just meant to help gauge general layout. Anything requiring firm measurements should wait until move-in so that students can take their own measurements. Residence Life is unable to allow students early access for measuring and is unable to take measurements for students. |
