Lofts:

University Residences partners with reputable vendors to provide bed loft rental, MicroFridge rental and futon purchase options to accessorize your room. Approved lofts are an easy and affordable way to increase living space within your room by raising the bed high enough for a couch, desk or TV to fit under the bed. All lofts have a bed rail pre-installed for safety. The MicroFridge rental is a one-of-a-kind unit that includes a refrigerator, freezer and microwave. Students who place orders by the deadline will receive free in-room delivery and assembly before move-in day. Note: A small percentage of our rooms are uniquely sized and may not be approved for a loft rental.
