Decorations and Wall Hangings
Can I hang anything on the wall?
We prefer that you use pushpins to hang pictures or posters on the bulletin board provided.
Do not use tape of any kind or sticky tac on walls. Be sure that wall hangings do not
obstruct smoke detectors, fire alarm bells or sprinkler systems. You may not use nails,
screws, or brackets to mount decorations on walls, ceiling or furniture. All materials
must be removed when you check out. You will be charged repair costs for any damage
to the walls (ie: holes made by nails/tacks, or paint peeled by tape).
Can I repaint my room?
No. When necessary, walls are repainted by maintenance staff in advance of your arrival.
Students may NOT paint their own rooms partially (ie: mural) or otherwise; this includes
“glow in the dark” paint.
If I want more furniture, may I take it from a lounge,
or a neighbour who doesn’t want it?
Huron University College residence rooms are well furnished with all of the necessary
furniture to make your room comfortable and safe. For this reason, the taking of other
College furniture for your residence room is not allowed. There will be a $20 fine per piece
of furniture up to $50 found in your residence room which is not designated as belonging
to that room. Your room must be left in the same condition at the end of the year as it was
when you moved in. Any work to refinish the room will be at the resident’s expense.
It is your responsibility to ensure all furniture is returned to your suite/room at the end
of the year, otherwise you will be charged for replacement.
