What is provided?

 

 

 

 

 

 

What things should I not bring?

Pets, fireworks or other explosive/flammable materials, hot plates, space heaters, incense, candles, weapons (including firearms, BB guns, paint/pellet guns, wrist rockets, large knives, ammunition) should not be brought.  Some musical instruments and loud amplification devices should not be brought. Safety and peaceful enjoyment of living areas for all residents should always be considered.

 

 

 

Will I have a telephone?

One wall-mounted telephone is provided in each room or apartment. This phone allows calls to be made in the local calling area at no charge. Residents may use a BYU-Idaho Long Distance Calling Card, for which they receive a monthly bill for long distance calls through the university telephone system. Eight-hundred numbers can be used as well. Any other long distance calling cards may also be used from a campus pay phone. You can obtain a calling card from the Accounting Office located in Kimball 130.

 

 

 

Can I decorate my room?

Of course! Each dorm/apartment has bulletin boards you can use to hang up posters, pictures, etc. Appropriate decorations are encouraged. Since no items may be attached to the wall with tape or nails, a special adhesive will be provided for attaching posters, etc. You can use white UHU-tac (which is provided by your head resident) for putting things on the walls. Make sure your decorations can be easily removed (no paint, wallpaper, contact paper, or decals). Please do not hang items on ceilings or windows.

 

 

 

What about computers?

Will I need renter's insurance?

If your parents have homeowner's insurance, chances are you are covered under it. If not, you should purchase renter's insurance. University insurance only covers university property, not your personal property.

 

 

 

Is there a place for my bike?

There are bike racks located outside each residence hall.  There is no indoor storage for bikes.  Bikes typically can't be used in the winter months, so in cases where outside storage is objectionable, residents should take their bikes home. Residents should register their bikes during check-in to have their identification numbers included in the University Police database.

 

 

 

What will be my address?

All mail should be sent to:

 

         Your name
         BYU-Idaho
         Name of Hall Apt #
         Rexburg, ID 83460 + 4 zip extension

     

    The +4 zip extensions are:

     

    Virginia H. Perkins Hall -0031        Helen Lamprecht Hall     -0035
    Annie S. Kerr Hall         -0032       Verla J. Chapman Hall     -0036
    Sarah Ann Barnes Hall  -0033      Lowell G. Biddulph Hall    -0046

    Apartment numbers are available when the student checks-in and should be added to their address at that time. Residents should arrange their schedules to be available when luggage or packages arrive. Packages that are delivered to the residence halls by a parcel service are sometimes stacked in the lounge and their security cannot be guaranteed. When leaving BYU-Idaho residence halls to go home, be sure to notify friends, family, magazine subscriptions, etc. of a change of address.
