Allegheny students are encouraged to decorate their rooms within the guidelines established by the College's policies. These policies allow students to make changes to their room that will make it a more comfortable and attractive place to live, while maintaining standards necessary for community living. Students are welcome to hang posters and other items on walls, doors and closets with white hanging putty, but should not use double-sided or duct tape, as these will leave a heavy residue and/or remove the paint. Also, because of the damage caused by self-adhesive decals, nails/bolts, and dartboards with metal-tipped darts, students must refrain from using them. Finally, please note that all furniture provided by the College must remain in the assigned room.
By signing a housing contract, students accept responsibility for room damage beyond normal wear and aging and will be charged accordingly.
