Is there a different address for packages?
No, all packages (UPS/FedEx, DHL, etc.) will be delivered to the campus mail office in Hopper Hall and may be picked up there.
What will happen to my mail during summer break?
Students may fill out a forwarding address form at the campus mail office if they wish to have mail forwarded to them during the summer. Mail services for the apartment style residence halls, which are open year-round, will continue during the summer.
Do I need to bring my own telephone?
Yes, local phone service is provided in each room. Cordless phones must be 900MHz or 5.8 GHz.
How do I make long distance telephone calls?
If you are using a landline connected in your room, you will need to use a calling card, as only local phone service is provided in residence halls.

A minimum of two data ports are located in each room, one for each resident’s computer, in Georgia, Reade, Brown, Centennial, Hopper, Lowndes, and Patterson. These residence halls have wired Internet access as well as wireless.
