Every house has certain "creature comforts." Some of the "creature comforts" in the Ohio Valley University house are listed below. 

• Dormitory rooms are adequately and appropriately furnished with a bed, dresser, desk, and closet. Due to space constraints and out of respect for your roommate, please don't bring additional pieces of large furniture with you. However, feel free to organize your room furnishings as you please, as long as you don't remove them from your room.
• Cable jacks are available in each room. Students need to provide their own cable-ready televisions and co-axial cables.
• A television is also available in the commons area, and is preprogrammed to avoid viewing of material that is inconsistent with the mission of OVU. Similarly, Student Life personnel must approve all video materials.
• Residence hall rooms are pre-wired into the campus phone/voice mail system, and a phone is provided. The phone service provides local calling capabilities only. You are encouraged to purchase phone cards for long distance service on campus.
• Each residence hall also has two lounges, and a large commons area is placed between the residence halls to encourage student activities.  
• Rooms are 17' 10" by 11' 9". Windows measure 49" (w) by 55" (l). Blinds are built into the windows.
