Anyone living in the residence hall is normally expected to participate in the dining plan. The hall does not have adequate facilities for people to cook for themselves. Those living outside the residence hall may still, if they wish, participate in the dining plan.

SIL-UND housing is a cooperative program, in which any non-staff adults and teens contribute approximately 1 hour of work per day cleaning in the residence hall or helping out in other ways, in order to keep program costs down. If you do not wish to participate in this program, please find housing outside the dorm.

Rates for housing include internet service, but not optional bedlinen and wired phone service.

Washing machine use is charged to all people living in the residence hall, and to anyone living outside who want to use the hall’s laundry facilities.
