peopcomp.gif (7546 bytes)Computers
Individual residence hall rooms are equipped with one network connection, providing access to the Internet and e-mail. To connect to the network from your room, your computer must have a network (Ethernet) card installed and a connection cable. Both can be purchased from the UM Bookstore. Installation of the card and connection of the cable are the resident’s responsibilities.

Individual Rooms
Due to the differences between rooms within each of the buildings, individual room sizes are not available. Some general room sizes are available in the Residence Hall Descriptions page. It is advisable to purchase carpeting or window dressing after you have had a chance to take measurements.   Lofts cannot be used in Hanson Hall. 
     You may want to talk with your roommate before deciding on bedspreads and other extras. You are encouraged to personalize your room, but be sure you follow the personalization guidelines published in the Housing & Residence Life policies and procedures booklet. That information is also available in the Make Your Room More Like Home! page. All rooms are furnished with regular length twin-sized bed(s), desk(s), and desk chairs(s).

Occupancy Options
There are three housing options available to residents at the University of Montevallo:

Single-Occupancy Rooms
Located in Main Hall, Fuller 4th floor, Napier 3rd floor and Wallace; these rooms are furnished for one person, and under normal occupancy conditions, only one person will be assigned to that room. The number of single rooms is limited. Current residents usually fill most of these rooms, leaving very few for new assignments.
Double-Occupancy Rooms
All other rooms on campus are considered double occupancy and are furnished for two people.
Private Rooms
After the beginning of the term, if space becomes available in your double-occupancy room, you may request it private. You will be responsible for paying the difference between the rates. In the fall term, on-campus occupancy is high, and initial assignments to private rooms, especially for women, are rare.
