Long Distance Provider: Students cannot charge long distance calls to room phones. Calling cards are available from the Bookstore and students can call collect. Many students use their cell phone.

Pets: The student housing setting is not conducive to the presence of animals; therefore, the university prohibits pets (including guest and visitor pets) with the exception of freshwater fish and approved service animals. Aquariums under ten gallons are permitted and are limited to one per room. During extended holiday hours, power may be shut off which could affect heating and lighting in the student rooms.

Laundry facilities: Top-load washers with dryers are available in all on-campus student housing. They are coin operated or the Braves One Card may be used.

Halls remain open during breaks except for the end of fall semester. (University Village Apartments remain one-week after the traditional halls close and reopen for spring semester a few days before the traditional halls. Minimal services are available for students approved to reside in the apartments during the break.) Students residing in the same room from fall to spring semester are not required to remove belongings from their room except as a personal security precaution.
