Last Reviewed: June 12, 2023


Stonehill College has certain expectations of students in regards to the living conditions of their residence area. They include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Residents are responsible for the cleanliness of their respective rooms, which are subject to inspection for health and safety reasons.

• Residents in upper-class suites and townhouse-style residence halls are fully responsible for the cleanliness of their respective common living areas and bathrooms.

• Perishable foods may not be stored in student rooms unless kept refrigerated. Any other food items kept in rooms must be stored in closed containers to avoid attracting and harboring insects and to avoid contamination of food.

• In underclass residence halls, kitchens or kitchenettes are provided in many of the residence areas for preparing light individual snacks. Residents in these areas are responsible for seeing that shared kitchen and restroom areas are kept in a clean and orderly condition. Cleaning fees may be assessed if this standard is not met.
