Guide to Residence Living - Framingham State University

8. Public intoxication is prohibited in all residence halls. Public intoxication
is defined as an intoxication which causes a disturbance or is dangerous
to self, others, and/or property, or in any way requires the attention of
the Framingham State staff.
9. Students involved in the excessive consumption of alcohol or other
drugs leading to intoxication, or overdose and resulting in a medical
emergency, and/or intervention, jeopardize continuance in housing and
will likely be required to immediately fulfill evaluation and/or
educational requirements as a condition of continued residency.
(E) CARE AND TREATMENT OF RESIDENCE HALLS POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES
Residents are expected to exercise great care with treatment of residence hall
facilities and furnishings. Mistreatment of facilities and/or vandalism are not
tolerated and will likely result in expulsion from Framingham State and/or
residence hall community.
Residence halls are furnished with a bed, mattress, desk, chair, dresser, and
closet or wardrobe. In the event housing demand is high, certain rooms will have
occupancy increased on a temporary basis. In these cases, students may be asked
to share a desk, chair, dresser, and/or closet. Students provide bedding, pillows,
and other personal belongings.
Members of the residence staff conduct periodic room inspections to ensure
cleanliness and that safety rules and regulations are being followed. At this time,
the staff will also make sure that non-issued Framingham State property, such as
lounge furniture, is not present in student rooms. Residents will be informed in
advance of room inspections. Please note that inspections of suites will take place
daily.
All students assigned to a specific room are responsible for the physical
condition and furnishings within that room. All students should review the
“Room Inventory Form” with their resident assistants at check-in and a careful
inspection should take place so the condition of all items can be noted. When a
student vacates a room, an inspection will take place and the condition of all
items will again be recorded. Students will be held accountable for any
differences beyond normal wear and tear.
Students are expected to leave their rooms in the same condition as they were
found at the beginning of their occupancy.
