Amenities and Services
The Housekeeping Staff is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of our residence halls, specifically the public areas during the academic year. As a member of our campus community, we do expect that you pick up after yourself by cleaning your dishes and removing them from the kitchen when appropriate. The Housekeeping Staff is not responsible for cleaning areas that are excessively dirty or treated poorly. We expect that you will be respectful in the residence halls to the staff who help take care of these spaces. You will get to know your Housekeeper quite well throughout the year, so please be sure to say hi when you see them since they are such an integral part of our campus community.
The Maintenance Staff is responsible for fixing any repairs in your room and/or your building. All maintenance requests are handled based on their priority and will be taken care of as soon as possible – typically within 5 business days. Please work with your RA or the Office of Residence Life for any routine maintenance requests. If you encounter an emergency, please contact the Office of Safety and Security to have someone from the Maintenance staff reached.
Please do your part to treat the residence halls as respectfully as you would your own home and keep them clean and damage-free.
All residence hall rooms are furnished with a standard twin bed, a desk, chair, dresser, and a wardrobe or built-in closet. All College-provided furniture must remain in the room throughout the academic year and be in place upon checking out of the room. Due to a limited amount of furniture, the College determines where beds may be bunked or lofted for space reasons. Additionally, if a room is not filled to capacity, the extra furniture must still remain in the room as there is no space available for us to remove the furniture and store it.
All beds are standard twin beds. Neither cinder blocks nor any other material may be used to elevate residence hall beds or other furniture.

After you have finished, please wash and put your dishes away, clean up and spills on the floor, stove, counter and in the microwave.

The College of Saint Rose does not have the facilities available to provide storage to students. Therefore, any furniture that is set up in a student’s room when they check-in must remain in that student’s room throughout the academic year and be present upon check-out, regardless of the number of students in that room. Additionally, we are not able to provide storage to students over the summer break. All belongings must be removed from a student’s room upon check-out. If a student needs storage for their belongings, there are a number of storage locations in the Capital District that they can explore. Note: If a student is keeping their same room for the next academic year, all belongings still MUST be moved out. A moving fee may be charged to a student’s account if belongings are left in a student’s room at check-out. The College is not responsible for any lost or damaged items.
