Summer Room Visits | Students and families often wish to visit assigned rooms before move-in; however residence halls are not accessible during the summer due to conferences, camps, and facility improvements.

Student Mail and Packages

Personal mail and packages can be sent to you while you are a student. New students can learn their box number in AMOS by navigating to College Students > My Mailbox. Once you receive that information, we encourage you to have your mail sent to the following address:

Student’s Name
Box #
������ɫ
1200 Main St.
Bethlehem, PA 18018

The Mailroom is located on the lower level of Reeves Library for Main Street Campus (Bernhardt-Wilhelm and Rau-Hassler residents) and in the HILL for South Campus (Main, Clewell and HILL residents). Click here for more information regarding the mailroom and services.

Move-In Day

Move-In Day is an exciting time for new students and their families. Please bring no more than two individuals to assist. Encourage other family members to remain at home.

When you arrive, you will be directed through the University entryway at the intersection of Main and West Locust Streets. Follow the road and arrive at the check-in tent.

For a successful move-in, mark all containers, boxes and bags with your first and last name, as well as building and room number. This will assist volunteers who are carrying items from the car to your new home.

Those participating in an early arrival group including fall athletics, marching band, UBUNTU, or the 1742 Experience will receive information regarding the check-in process from their coach or director.

Residence Life Staff

Each floor has a Resident Advisor (RA) an upperclass student who plays a key role in building community, providing support, serving as a resource, and enforcing University and residence hall policies. Your RA will help you navigate campus expectations but we also recommend reviewing the ������ɫ Student Handbook before moving in.

Meal Plans

First-year residents are automatically enrolled in the “Hound Unlimited” meal plan, the standard option for students living in residence halls without private kitchens. While the HILL offers a full kitchen, first-year students residing there are still required to have at least the Hound Unlimited meal plan.

Students have the option to:

• Switch to the Hound 200
• Upgrade to the Gold Unlimited meal plan
• Add Hound Bucks or purchase a rechargeable block as the semester progresses

Commuter students can select a meal plan based on their dining needs while on campus. Meal plans can also be added during the semester.
