What kitchen supplies will I need to bring?
If you have some extra pots and pans, glasses, or utensils - bring them if possible.  Your  roommates may have a lot / or very little in the way of supplies.  There are some thrift  stores in the area that residents favor for supplies.  Items there are "used" but very  inexpensive.  The Mount Vernon / Burlington area boasts a wide variety of stores, either  independent or within shopping malls, if you favor new items.

Is smoking allowed in the buildings or apartments?Campus View Village maintains a "NO SMOKING" policy in all indoor areas. Residents comply with this by smoking outside on porch, patio, and deck areas.  Public ashtrays are provided for each building, while some residents prefer to use their personal ones. For non smoking residents, seven apartments are located in one building we have designated as entirely smoke free. Here students are not allowed to smoke at all within 20 feet of the building. Availability is limited, so please call for information.

How do roommates handle buying food and supplies?
Residents handle the purchasing of food items in several different ways, depending on their tastes, friendships, and money situations.  Some pool their money and buy items to be used in common, such as toilet paper, kitchen condiments, cleaning items and paper towels.  Others take turns (a weekly rotation) when buying the common items.  Some roommates make buying items a personal choice -- where each roommate buys for his/her self.  The key to roommates "getting along well" is to make certain that no matter what system is used, each roommate understands and agrees to that system.

What if my roommates are "neat freaks?"
What if my roommates are "slobs?" 
The Residence Life Staff suggests that residents from each apartment create a cleaning schedule that pleases all.  One such proven method is to schedule a complete cleaning of the common areas once a week, for example, from 6pm to 7pm on Sunday nights. Duties for kitchen, living room and bathroom can be rotated from week to week.  Bedrooms are usually cleaned at the discretion of the occupant.  Roommates who create a cleaning schedule report more positive relationships with one another and a higher degree of overall satisfaction with their living conditions.
