The buildings do provide heat during the winter so you do not need to worry about that. Again heaters and heat lamps are not just a fire hazard but some heaters can be a carbon monoxide hazard. It will get cold in the winter; just make sure to bring extra blankets and sweaters for the colder months.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Large furniture from home.<\/h3>\n

You cannot bring your own furniture (desk, couches, bean bag chairs etc.\u2026) but you are allowed to bring your own desk\/office chair. If you want a great loop hole for this buy an ottoman, you can use it as a stool and it provides extra storage space.<\/p>\n

11. Mattresses (use the one provided from Wilfrid Laurier Residence).<\/h3>\n

Every dorm room is equipped with its own mattress. Problem: they are not the most comfortable thing, but they can be. Make sure to go out and buy a mattress topper or pad. Not only do these things protect you from bed bugs they also make your bed much more comfortable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

12. Beer\/Cooler\u00a0bottles.<\/h3>\n

Obviously\u2026 you should not be drinking, especially if you are under age. Glass bottles can be dangerous because when they break someone may step on it, we just don\u2019t want anyone getting hurt. So please be responsible and safe.<\/p>\n

13. Drinking paraphernalia.<\/h3>\n

If you do not know what that big fancy word is, it\u2019s kind of like equipment, so no beer pong tables, funnels or anything like that. Once again, please be responsible.<\/p>\n

14. Nose-cancelling headphones.<\/h3>\n

As these might be a great study tool, they are also unsafe; for example what if you cannot hear the fire alarm when it goes off. Instead just wear normal headphones, and if you need a quiet place to study try out the library.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15. Electrical\u00a0outlet wall tap.<\/h3>\n

Since wall taps are not allowed by a surge protector because trust me you will need more outlets than provided in the dorms.<\/p>\n

16. Illegal drugs.<\/h3>\n

Any use of illegal drugs is prohibited and you will have to deal with the consequences. Make sure you are being safe and that you do not use\/bring anything that can harm you and\/or others.<\/p>\n

17. Weapons.<\/h3>\n

What else can I really say other than do not bring them…?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

18. Do\u00a0not cover your entire wall with art.<\/h3>\n

The WLU residences do allow having things on your wall, with the exception that it only covers 20 percent of it.<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n

<\/h6>\n

19. Thumb tacks.<\/h3>\n

You are not allowed to bore the walls with thumb tacks; they are considered damage to the walls. Instead each res does provide wall mounts that you can use.<\/p>\n

20. Your family.<\/h3>\n

Your family cannot come with you to your dorm. So make sure to spend a lot of time with them during the summer. Also do not forget to hang out with your home town besties.<\/p>\n
