Bicycle Storage

Students may store their bicycles at their own risk in the residence hall bike rooms listed below. Bicycle storage is on a first-come, first served basis. Residents are responsible for providing their own bike locks.

• 10 West Street and the Modern Theater Residence Hall—Basement
• 150 Tremont Street—Sub Basement
• Miller Hall—First Floor

Bicycles may not be chained to doors, stairwells, or other objects. The fire code dictates that all entrances, exits, corridors, and stairwells must be free and clear at all times. Bicycles stored improperly will be removed at the owner’s expense.

Dining Services

All residence hall students must have a meal plan, except for those students living in 10 West Street apartments. Students can select one of three debit system meal plans. Refer to the Guide to Residence Life for more details. At the end of the fall semester, any student on Meal Plan A or B whose balance is more than 30 percent of the original balance will automatically be transferred to the next-lowest meal plan option. Any money left on student meal plan accounts at the end of the fall semester will be carried over to the spring. Meal plan funds remaining at the end of the spring semester are forfeited.

If students wish to change meal plans, they must notify the Department of Residence Life & Housing within three weeks from move-in day at the start of the fall and spring semesters.

It is important that students monitor their balances to ensure they are properly budgeting for the semester. If there is a discrepancy or students are experiencing difficulty using their account, they should speak with a staff member at the Bursar’s/Student Accounts Office, located in the Donahue Building.

Students may also add money to their RAM accounts. The RAM account is located on the Suffolk ID and is a stored-value, declining balance. Students can use the RAM account at all dining halls and at the Sawyer Café. Funds on the RAM account can also be used for laundry in the residence halls as well as the bookstore and select off campus locations. A full list of retail stores that accept the RAM card is located at www.suffolk.edu/ramcard. Students and parents can also add money to students’ RAM accounts via www.managemyid.com.

Students with specific dietary requests should contact Sodexo directly at 617.305.2511 and/or ask to speak with the residence hall cafeteria manager. Hours of service are posted at each dining hall at the beginning of the semester.

Students can check out the website of Sodexo, the University’s food service provider, for more information at www.sudining.com.

Exercise Room

There is an exercise room in the sub-basement of 150 Tremont Street and in the basements of Miller Hall and 10 West Street/the Modern Theater Residence Hall. All equipment is used at the student’s own risk.

Kitchen Facilities

150 Tremont Street and 10 West Street/The Modern Theater Residence Hall
Access to kitchen facilities is limited. Students wishing to use the kitchen may sign up in the residence hall office. Students who use the kitchen facilities will be held responsible for the condition of the kitchen. Students must take care of the existing facilities and exercise caution when cooking or heating food in the kitchen. Residents will be held financially responsible for any building fire alarm activation or related damages resulting from negligence while cooking. Hours of use may be limited.

Miller Hall

There are no public kitchen facilities at Miller Hall.

Laundry Facilities

Coin-operated and RAM card-reader washers and dryers are located in the lower levels of each of the residence halls and may be used at students’ own risk. Washing machines may not be used for dyeing clothing or other items. Students should contact the residence hall office of their building if there is a problem with any of the washers or dryers.

Lounge Space

There is a lounge on every floor in both 10 West Street and 150 Tremont Street. There is also a lounge on every other floor at Miller Hall. Study lounges are provided at 150 Tremont Street on every floor except the 2nd and 9th floors and on the 2nd floor of 10 West Street/The Modern Theater Residence Hall. These areas are provided for quiet study. The lounges are open 24 hours a day. Students should be respectful of others using the lounges. Study lounges may not be used as lodging.

Telephones

There are phone jacks in each of the residence hall rooms at 10 West and the Modern Theater Residence Hall, Miller Hall and 150 Tremont. Local phone service is included in room and board charges. Students are urged to inform family and friends of their telephone numbers so that they can receive calls directly. Personal calls cannot be taken at the front desk telephone or by a member of the Residence Life & Housing staff.

There is a house phone inside the entrance of each residence hall. This phone can be used to call student rooms and University offices on campus.

The Department of Residence Life & Housing may give out student phone numbers in the residence halls only to other administrative and academic offices. The Office does not give out phone numbers to the public.

It is important that students utilize the on campus phone system as it may be the only number the Office of Residence Life & Housing has to reach students. Students wishing to request a private University number may do so by e-mailing telecom@suffolk.edu.

Special Considerations for Residents Living at the Hyatt Regency or the Holiday Inn:
A telephone is provided in each room, and all rooms have voicemail. All phone calls (except room-to-room calls) are charged to the student’s account. The Office of Residence Life & Housing therefore strongly encourages students to use their cell phones while in the hotel. The phone number for the Hyatt Regency is 617.742.7630. The phone number for the Holiday Inn is 617.742.7630. Callers can ask for students by name or room number.
