Welcome
Fellow Panthers,
The pineapple serves as a symbol of hospitality and a warm welcome. We have adopted this as our departmental mascot (see the photo of Spike, a real pineapple growing in our office!) because it represents our goal for you as a member of the residential community.
Our caring, dedicated, diverse, and well-trained professional and student staff work tirelessly to provide a safe and enriching environment where you will live, learn, and grow.
Recognizing that each student has unique needs and goals, Residential Life & Dining Services is committed to enriching the student experience beyond the classroom through a holistic approach that emphasizes self-authorship, growth through critical thinking, and engagement with an inclusive community. Students who actively participate will have a strong foundation for success as community members of Plymouth State University and on the path that takes them further. Here are just a few of the ways you can actively participate in your community:
Get to know your Community Advisor (CA)
Attend a Community Experience (activity on your floor or around the community)
Join RHA (Residence Hall Association)
Take ownership and pride in your community
Hold your peers accountable when they act against community standards
Living on campus wouldn’t be complete, however, without a place to eat-- but PSU Dining is more than just great food. It is a community experience centered on culinary expertise, fresh ingredients, healthy options, and a shared sense of environmental and social responsibility. Our partners in PSU Dining are continuously striving for excellence—if we miss the mark, please let us know so we can best meet your nutritional and engagement needs.
Whether you are a new or returning student, a transfer, or an international student, the Residential Life & Dining Services team is looking forward to working with you to make your experience on campus a successful and positive one.
Welcome Home!
Amanda Grazioso Director of Residential Life & Dining Services

These handy helpers are Plymouth State Students, Staff, Faculty, and Town of Plymouth Community Members. They are available to help you carry your belongings in to your new space.
Cooling Stations
Need a break? Cool off at one of our designated cooling stations in each residential area for move-in. Use these stations as an opportunity to slow-down and allow the welcome team to do the move-in work.
Unloading Zones
Most residential communities will have designated unloading zones for the day. Individuals directing traffic will guide you to the unloading zone After unloading, you will be directed to a parking location for the day
Unloading Passes
Vehicles that will be actively unloading for move-in, will receive an unloading pass that will include a direction map. This pass will have a spot to provide a cell phone number to contact in case the vehicle obstructs others trying to move in.
Patience
Move-In day is a process. While we try to move through all steps as quickly and efficiently as possible, there may be delays and lines throughout the process. We will work quickly to prevent this but appreciate patience and understanding.
Move-In Day Unloading Expectations
DoNotCopy
To the left, you will find a sample of an unloading pass. Each pass is specific to an area of campus as they are color coded to signage to direct students and families where to go once they have checked in on the Holderness Campus.
Once the pass has been given to the vehicles that will be actively unloading at the designated residential community, it is expected that each vehicle writes in:
Full Name
Cell Phone Number
Students Building & Room Number
Once the vehicle has finished unloading it is expected that the vehicle will be moved from the unloading zone to another spot on campus to allow other students and families the opportunity to unload in a timely manner.
As stated above, each pass is color coded. Please note the breakdown of colors and locations below:
Green Yellow - Pemigewasset & Belknap Halls
Light Green - Blair & Mary Lyon Halls
PSU Green - Geneva Smith & Grafton Halls
Light Yellow - Merrill Place & University Apartments
Black - Langdon Woods
On the back of each unloading pass is a map specifically designed for each area of campus. These maps correspond with signage in the same color that also includes a specific traffic route to ensure a quick and effective move-in process.
The unloading pass is designed to be hung from the rearview mirror with the vehicles owner information facing outward for University staff to see.

The Chuck List
You've seen him at Accepted Student Days and Summer Orientations. Learn from the Associate Director of Residence Education on his recommendations for a smooth move-in day and process!
Unpacking Prior to Packing Invest in Storage Bins
This might seem like a wild recommendation, but this will save you time on Move-In Day by not having to run back and forth to the dumpsters, while trying to navigate usage of the elevator(s).
Think about your Items
In August you wont need your winter apparel or winter recreation equipment Additionally, if you're planning to bring something from home and its sat unused for months, it will likely do the same when you bring it to campus. Remember you're sharing a space with a roommate.
Investing in 30-Gallon Storage Bins is perfect for all Residence Halls and Apartments. They are a great resource to pack all your belongings in and store well under all Residence Hall beds on Campus.
Leave the Family Pet at Home
Unless you have been approved for an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) or have shared with us that you are bringing a service animal, you need to leave the pets at home. Take time adjusting to your environment before you exploring adopting the non-dangerous fish you are permitted to have
Paint Safe only goes so Far When in Doubt ask Chuck
Absolutely make your residential space your home! Remember that even paint safe products can cause wall damage, you need to have patience when removing at the end of the year. Be sure to read all directions when using at the beginning of the year,
Well maybe not Chuck all the time, but more in essence as in Residential Life. We love answering questions and providing guidance as you and your family prepares for Move-In Day! Residential Life & Dining Services is always here to partner with you.

About Your Assignment
Bed Size Information

If you are looking to have your bed bunked with your roommates, there will be information at move-in to assist with this process.
Desk Dimensions Dressers and Wardrobes
Each student is provided a desk and desk chair
The typical dimensions for the desk are 42" Wide x 24" Deep x 30" High. The typical dimensions for the desk chairs are 20" Wide x 24" Deep x 33" High
Spaces will be assigned a dresser and wardrobe/closet space Typical sizes for the dressers are 30" Wide x 24" Deep x 30" High. Wardrobes are typically 30" Wide x 24" Deep x 73" High.
Room Condition
The condition of your room is assessed by Residential Life Staff prior to Move-In, however, students will be given an opportunity to make note of any issues up to 48 hours after move-in. Residential Life recommends taking a picture of your room/suite/apartment prior to unpacking to show the layout and condition of your space at check-in for the end-of-the-year move-out process.
Bed Height, Bed Lofting and Bunked Beds
All beds are set to the campus standard height at move-in The campus standard includes the bed being at middle height which means that 4 metal pegs can be visibly seen on the inside of the bed frames. Beds are adjustable, it is important to note that all beds need be returned to the campus standard at checkout to avoid being assessed an improper checkout fee. Here is a video on how to adjust your bed on move-in day: https://tinyurl.com/BedAdjustment
The only way to loft your bed is to rent a loft kit for your space from Plymouth State. Residential Life, in collaboration with PSU Physical Plant, is pleased to offer this for $350 for the year billed in the fall semester. If you would like to request a loft kit, you can do so beginning August 26, 2024: https://plymouth.erezlife.com/
When the form opens in the eRezLife Platform, look for the form titled "Bed Loft Kit Request". Please note that lofts will not be installed until after all Move-In Days have concluded as students might change assignments.
On-Campus Expectations

A comprehensive list of all prohibited items can be found in the Residential Life & Dining Services Policies & Procedures. The link to this document is as follows:
https://tinyurl.com/yya2tarh
The list of prohibited items begins on page 11 and includes the following categories:
Fire Safety & Electrical Items
Appliances
Furniture/Décor
Miscellaneous Weapons
Please review this list prior to packing to move into your on-campus assignment.

Build social & problem solving skills as residents work through the various experiences.
Learning to respect the diversity someone else brings to a situation.
Learning to approach difficult situations in a mature and constructive manner
Tips for Living with Another Person
Hopefully, this relationship will be positive and rewarding, but it can also be challenging. While most roommates get along very well, it is natural to have some issues arise during the course of a year.
It is not necessary for a roommate to be a best friend; it is necessary that every student respect one another
It is essential that lines of communication be developed and remain open Stand up for individual rights without violating the rights of others.
Initiating and participating in any conversation becomes easier.
Communicating personal expectations becomes easier.
Share relevant personal experiences to develop a working relationship.
The more effort a student makes to spend quality time with a roommate in discussion, the easier it will be to mediate conflict if it arises during the year

Roommate/Living Agreements
The Community Advisor will provide roommates/suitemates with the necessary Living Agreement Form and instructions at the beginning of each semester. The Roommate/Living Agreement is considered a binding agreement Should one roommate violate the Roommate/Living Agreement, the residents of the unit may be asked to participate in a roommate discussion hosted by the Community Advisor, Community Director, or a mediation program. If resolution cannot be reached through mediation, the resident in violation of the living agreement may be administratively reassigned to a different room.
One of the first steps in building an effective roommate relationship is for students to talk about expectations for behavior regarding the room. This can help avoid potential problems and conflicts.
Discuss religious beliefs and personal values that might impact your expectations. Discuss ways to resolve conflicts before they happen. Before completing your Roommate/Living Agreement, fill out the Roommate/Living Agreement Self-Assessment
The Self-Assessment is available now via eRezLife.
General Topic Areas to Consider
Housekeeping duties - decide how you will divide duties such as taking out the trash, cleaning the room, etc.
Phone use - discuss how late people can call so it doesn’t wake the other person or issues related to phone use.
Ideal sleeping and studying conditions - talk about when lights should be turned off, when it is okay to make noise, etc.
Guests - Decide how you want to handle non-PSU guests and what overnight guests will look like for your room/suite/apartment. Remember to follow the Guest/Visitor expectations outlined in the Residential Life Policies and Procedures.
Computer and electronics usage - discuss how late people can watch TV or listen to music and if you want to share computers/printers
Health concerns - if a student has a medical issue it is helpful for that student to share it with their roommate so the roommate is aware of the condition/concern in the event of an emergency. Other issues - discuss any issues that seem important that might need to be clarified—use of personal items and asking permission, etc.
