All mattresses are extra long; bring extra-long twin sheets to fit. If you bring a rug, 5&#8217;x7 \u2032 rugs are best.<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 1.0625rem;\">Internet access.<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.0625rem;\"> Students have internet access in all residence halls via Wi-Fi.
