Student Housing

Opened in Fall 2003, Busby Suites is located on the hill behind North Campus. A central elevator accesses 4 floors holding a total of 232 bedrooms. Of these rooms, 8 are ADA compliant. Each room is furnished with a desk, chair and dresser and a loft-able or bunk-able bed [with an extra-long twin 36.x 80. mattress] for each student, as well as a plush upholstered community chair and a spacious closet. Each room contains a heating and air conditioning unit with an accessible thermostat.

Busby Suites has 2-3 open lounges throughout the floors. There are also 2 quiet study rooms located at the end of each hallway on floors 2,3, and 4. Busby has a game room that includes a big screen TV, as well as pool tables, ping pong, foosball and air hockey. Basketball and volleyball courts are located behind the building. Mail services are located in the central office, across from the elevators. US Mail, UPS and Fed Ex are delivered each weekday. There is no mail delivery on the weekends.

Most rooms in Busby Suites are set up with two large rooms housing three students each, connected by a common bathroom. Each living space has a 9' ceiling and measures approximately 12' x 16', not including a spacious 8' x 5' closet that all three residents share. The room itself has a large 71" x 59" window with an outside screen and a retractable shade. First floor windows are equipped with additional security screens for resident's safety. The floor is tiled and many residents choose to bring rugs or carpets.

The walls of the room are sheetrock, and it is suggested that you hang any posters with push-pin tacks, so as not to damage the paint with tape. Nails and screw holes may incur damage billing.

The bathroom features separate stalls for shower and toilet, as well as a wide mirror above the vanity sink and a shelf. The bathroom may be locked from the inside only, so think of your suitemates as extended roommates when having discussions regarding rules you'll want to live by during the year. The residents of the suite are responsible for the cleanliness of the bathroom at all times. They must provide their own cleaning and toilet supplies, including toilet paper..

Becasuse the rooms are tripled we suggest bunking one set of beds and lofting the other bed, and storing furniture under it. We also suggest not bringing up couches or futons until you are sure you'll have room for it. We do not have space to store any room furniture, and all university furniture must remain in the room, per our Code of Conduct.
