Rooms
Each student has his own room at the College. When deciding what to bring for one’s room, the following description may be helpful.
Although no two rooms have exactly the same dimensions, most rooms generally have a single window, with three feet of wall space on either side. There is a radiator under the window. Two walls, each being about 15 feet long, contain neither a door nor a window. Built into one of these walls is a closet (containing a hanging rod, a series of drawers and two cabinets). Above the closet is a storage space for suitcases. Next to the closet is a sink and a mirror. The room will contain a desk, a desk chair, a desk lamp, a bookshelf, a comfortable reading chair and a bed. Sheets, blankets, a pillow, and pillowcases are provided by the College, but towels and washcloths are not. Students may wish to bring an additional tension rod of about 27 inches to provide more hanging space in the closet. The College organizes a trip to the local IKEA in mid-October every year for seminarians to purchase additional furniture and accessories for their rooms at their own expense.
A student may wish to place curtains in his window. Curtains, draperies, rods, and fixtures may be purchased here. The windows are 5.6 feet high and 5.6 feet wide. The distance from the top of the window to the floor is 8.5 feet.
Also of note is the fact that the College has a fully functioning wood shop that contains wood and power tools. Many students elect to use this resource to construct additional cabinets, shelves, and even lofts for their rooms.
