Are we allowed to hang things on the walls of our dorm rooms? What are we allowed to hang them with?
Decorating your dorm room is always exciting! Anything is allowed to be hung up on your walls—as long as it is not hanging/covering the sprinkler in your room. In most dorms, students hang up frames, collages, flags, posters, lights, and/or whiteboards. We love using heavy duty tape or for heavier items command hooks and strips to stick it to the wall. Tacks and push pins most likely will not work out because most dorm walls are cinder blocks!
Should I bring my car?
It is completely up to you. Some people feel the need for a car, so they have the freedom to go wherever, whenever. We suggest leaving your car at home first semester-just so you can get adjusted! Second semester, bring it onto campus! Though, Bryant provides plenty of transportation opportunities like the RIPTA (Rhode Island Public Transit Authority). With your student ID, you can get anywhere in Rhode Island free of charge. Check out the RIPTA’s schedule here-we are Route 52! Aside from the RIPTA, Bryant offers rides from the BTA, which is a low-cost van service that runs daily routes starting from Bryant to the Lincoln Mall and/or Providence. If you do decide to bring your car onto campus, make sure you register it! It’s free!
When is it a good time to do laundry?
Ahhhh laundry….everyone’s favorite. The best time to do laundry is definitely on the weekends early in the morning-everyone is still sleeping! It’s the perfect time to sneak your laundry in without having to wait. Otherwise, it’s really a hit or miss experience. The washers and dryers could be all taken, so before you haul all your laundry down a few flights, use this handy website! This site allows you to check which machines are available, and it also displays how much time is left on each washer and dryer.
How do I know if I have a package?
Everyone is assigned a mailbox their first year, which you keep for your entire stay at Bryant! If you receive a package, the Bryant Post Office will send you an email notifying you—these are our favorite emails because it is usually a care package…thanks mom!

What do most girls wear to class?
Girls wear all sorts of things…jeans and a top, yoga pants with a zip up, sundresses in the warmer weather, workout apparel, or business attire…really, anything goes. You will see a mixture of outfits around campus. Just wear something that is comfortable because it will be hard to focus if you’re not. However, save those cute “going out” outfits for the weekends instead of class. You don’t want to be “that” girl walking around in your five inch pumps! The only time people really wear heels is when giving a presentation, and even then only an inch or two is acceptable! Keep an eye out for some outfit articles this fall!
