FAQs for New Students
几乎每个大一新生都会和室友一起住在一个双人房间里.
Our halls range in size from the smallest, East at 21 residents, to our largest, Minta Martin at 143+.
There is no storage available on the campus. Students need to contact local storage companies to store belongings during the summer if they don’t want to bring them home. It is advisable to use the vacation times to shuffle/switch out belongings, especially season specific items. 学生应把任何非必需的东西带回家 以免在5月份打包太多东西.
All halls have Resident Assistants. RAs are students who live and work in the halls. 他们由专业人员,即区域协调员监督. Because they are students (and often athletes, club leaders, etc.), they are not available 24 hours a day. 助教可以提供建议,回答最基本的问题,引导学生走向正确的方向 right office for help, report maintenance issues, enforce policies, plan activities. RAs will not wake students up to go to class, make sure the student is eating properly, etc. 这些基本的生活技能是学生作为一名学生应该为自己做的 adult.
Students are expected to have basic independent living skills before they arrive on campus: how to talk to roommates, live cooperatively with others, how to clean their room (and as upperclassmen in suites, the bathrooms), how to do laundry, basic cooking 技能,以及与他人一起生活所需的基本技能. Adjusting to college- living in a new place, adjusting to a different daily pattern, different and increased intellectual challenges- is hard enough. Students who have the skills to take care of themselves have an easier time adjusting and exhibit more confidence 他们适应大学生活并取得成功的能力.
Students are allowed to bring a fridge. You can bring up to a 4.4 cubic foot fridge. Think about what you will need the fridge for. If you will need it for a lot of drinks and food, go with the 4.4. Very little can be put into the smaller, cube fridges. However, none of the first year halls have an elevator. If you can’t carry it, think about how you’re going to get it up the stairs.
Students are allowed to bring a microwave. Considering the size of the rooms, microwaves
should be less than 1.2 cubic ft. 更大的冰箱更有用,也更值得投资
of space than a large microwave.
学生也可以带电视,尽管现在大多数学生都看电视
shows on their laptops. 如果你带了电视,墙壁也不能损坏
mounted on them except posters. As for the size of the tv, the rooms are not large
and big tvs are typically damaged quickly. Save the big tv for your first post-college
apartment!
The college does not insure students’ belongings. If something is stolen or damaged, the college will not replace it. Verify that your student’s belongings are insured either through your homeowner’s insurance or if not and it’s not offered, seek out renter’s insurance. 有专门经营大学生保险的公司.
是的,几乎每个大一新生都有一个室友,他们相处得很好! For many students, sharing a room with someone is a new experience but it is a critical life skill that is needed for the rest of your life. Typically, students experiencing a roommate for the first time in their lives have a lot to learn: basic communication and negotiating skills, the difference between wants and needs, how to live cooperatively with another person, the importance of physically speaking to someone (and not just texting!),留意他人的需求,并与自己的需求保持平衡.
Bringing an entire year's supply of anything takes up too much valuable space in the rooms! We have stores! 镇上有两家大杂货店,Redners和Acme, 除了每周的农贸市场,还有两个小型的专业市场. The 2 small 杂货店是切斯特敦天然食品和洛斯·雅罗霍斯墨西哥杂货店. Every Saturday morning all year round, there is a farmer’s market in the Fountain Park, downtown Chestertown.
For home goods, there are several dollar stores, Peebles Department Store, and Welcome Home. 欢迎之家有厨房,床和浴室用品,而几扇门,树枝和 Teacups also has a variety of items for the home. Downtown Chestertown has a variety of stores and you can find most things you need.
For periodic, “stock up” international grocery shopping, students will drive to stores
like H-Mart in Ellicott City. It’s 1.5 hours away but for the occasional trip, it
开车经过安纳波利斯和奥特莱斯购物中心是一次不错的一日游. Bring ice
and a cooler! (或两家)该地区还有各种较小的民族杂货店.
For malls and big box stores, students drive to Middletown, Annapolis, or Christiana.
Having overseen thousands of students move in over the years, here are some tips:
•东海岸有水,而且是好水! There is no need to
bring cases and cases of bottled water. Invest in a filter instead- you can send new
filters to the student periodically via Amazon. It saves a lot of room!
•拉面或其他散装食品也是如此. Every May, we donate several
vans worth of ramen, Chef Boyardee and other food items that students have not used.
▪如果学生“可能”需要它或者一年没有用过它,不要带它. Anything
can be sent by mail. 通常情况下,如果它不在这里,不是重要的日常用品,他们
don’t notice it missing. 我们看到很多非关键项目在5月份被抛弃
学生们意识到他们从未使用过一整年,也不需要. (and when we say a lot,
it’s about 7 industrial sized dumpster loads)
What to Bring
Our Packing List is a general guide. Many students bring too much stuff! Plan to switch out seasonal things during the breaks. 你春假带回家的越多,你就会越少 scramble to pack in May!
Get ready for our Zero Waste Move-In! Washington College is committed to sustainability and encourages students and families to help. 在一个已知的生态环境中,小事情累积起来会产生很大的影响 wonder.
Your residence hall room comes with an extra long twin bed and mattress, desk and chair, dresser, closet or wardrobe, small shelf or bookshelf, and overhead lighting. Rooms have tile floors and window blinds. In each hall, there is a laundry room with washers and dryers. 如果可能的话,在你计划什么的时候和你的室友谈谈 to bring. 然而,如果你不能这样做,以某种方式打包可能的双重物品 这样就能更方便地开车回家了. Keep in mind that college-owned furniture may not be removed from your room.
Instead of "borrowing" a grocery cart from the store, invest in one of these kinds of carts. 《九州娱乐官网》建议买一辆可折叠且轮子耐用的车 可以走很长的砖路(我们这里有很多砖路)!). Helpful for move in/out, laundry (if you have a laundry room on your floor), bringing large amounts of stuff to events (picnic on the green or near the stadium, anyone?).
别忘了,使用燃烧的火焰的蜡烛和熏香是不允许的. However, there are so many alternatives now. Flameless candles that have flickering motion 看起来非常真实,在房间里营造出逼真的烛光氛围. Students also use fairy lights- just make sure the bulbs do not get hot and never place anything cloth or paper on or near them.
Plug in fresheners and oil diffusers are great but they do take up a plug so be mindful 你带了多少电子产品,什么最适合你的需要. Whatever 你选择,这些也是需要补充的小物品. Set your order for autoship and save the precious space in the room. Or Parents/Guardians, send periodic care 装着续杯和其他季节性物品的包裹. When students bring these types of things in bulk ahead of time, they are put away (often deep under the bed) and forgotten about until May move out. Some items just don’t work well in small residence 大厅房间,如电子烘蛋器(洒热蜡任何人?)
In summer, early fall and late spring, be aware that the Eastern Shore is very, very humid. We are surrounded by water! It’s not uncommon to have a 90% humidity level every day during those seasons. 有的同学发现,拥有一个小空间的除湿机 is helpful when they move in, bring it home fall break to store, then bring it back spring break to use in their room again. Rooms are small- you don’t need a big one but you do need to remember to empty it out daily.
If you are bringing prescription drugs (particularly anything valuable), your passport and social security card (if you plan on getting a job), or anything else small and valuable, strongly consider bringing a small safe. Some roll under the bed, some look like little cabinets. Whatever works for you!
Some valuables should simply not come to college- grandma’s ring, valuable jewelry, grandpa’s heirloom item- none of this should be in a residence hall. 房间很小,东西会被打碎、丢失,如果不小心放在外面,还会被偷. Additionally, 学生不应该在房间或钱包里放大量现金. Any amount over $100 is too much- use your bank!
像雨刷一样的产品对大学生来说是一种奖励. Bring a both the dry cloth and wet cloths, which brings us to rugs.
大的,房间大小的地毯(总是8x10)很难保持清洁,在这样的真空 一个狭小的空间,到12月左右总是很脏. A residence hall is not the place for expensive or one of a kind rugs! The antique Persian rug needs to stay 在家里,远离洒出来的苏打水、碎饼干和不可避免的泥浆 of the rainy Eastern Shore.
Using multiple washable throw rugs are much more functional and sanitary. While your rug(s) is in the wash, you can sweep your floor and mop it with the wet cloths quick resulting in a clean floor and rug. 破布地毯,棉织地毯,甚至大的浴室地毯都是如此 washed in the washing machine and are easy to maintain.
A first aid kit is essential for the room (and if bringing a car, one designed for the car as well).
别忘了带手电筒和备用电池——每个人都会忘记的 a flashlight! 停电不经常发生,但当停电发生时,重要的是 have.
If you are particularly safety minded and prefer to invest in a useful long term piece, 你可以考虑得到一个手摇天气收音机/手电筒组合. Most have phone charger capabilities too.
