Eureka Dorm LifeWhat can I expect?
- What is provided in my room/in the hall?
All residence halls, except Gunzenhauser and Jones, are air conditioned buildings. They are all equipped with cable, internet access (2 connections in double rooms), and a phone jack for local phone service. Students MUST bring their own phone to hook up in their room for on campus and local phone calls. Long distance calls must be made with a calling card or cell phone.
Each room comes with a bed frame, mattress, desk, chair, small dresser, closet, and blinds. Each floor has a lounge and laundry facilities are located several places throughout campus. Soda and/or vending machines are also located in several of the residence halls. For students wishing to bring a bike, there are several outdoor bike racks.
- What is a loft?
A loft is a platform that lifts your bed up off of the floor in order to provide more space in your room. Lofts vary in construction and height. Students who want a loft have the option of buying or building their own. Loft plans can be found in the SPS Office in the Cerf Center. Also, Eureka College rents lofts to students for a $100 fee. All of the proceeds go into student programming on campus. Students interested in renting a loft must turn in a Loft Agreement Form and their $100 payment by the end of July for the fall semester. Loft Agreement Forms are given out when students come to Jump Start sessions over the summer (or through email for returning students).
- Is storage available?
Eureka College does not have storage space available to students. Students wishing to store belongings during the year or over the summer are encouraged to call the city storage facility in Eureka (J&M Storage). The furniture that comes in a student’s room MUST stay in that room all year. In some areas, it is permitted for students to store their bed frame for a $25 storage fee, if they choose to do so.
- Can I decorate my room?
Students are encouraged to decorage individual rooms to their liking. However, wallpaper and contact paper should not be used. Students should also refrain from using nails and screws which cause lasting damage to the walls.
- What is an RA?
Resident Advisors (RA's) are student members of the Residence Life Staff who live on the floors in the residence halls. Nearly every floor on campus has an RA. This person is a student's initial contact whenever there are concerns or questions. The RA is also responsible for building community, planning programs, explaining and enforcing policies, mediating roommate conflicts, handling concerns, and being a friend or big "brother/sister" to the residents on their floor.

Meal Planwhat are my options?
All full time residential students are required to be on the college’s meal plan. Through the meal plan, students may eat up to 3 meals each day in the Commons.
Commons - Breakfast served 7am – 9am Lunch served 10:45am – 12:45pm Dinner served from 5pm – 6:30pm
If a student cannot make it to the Commons for lunch or dinner, they may eat a “meal plan option” in the Burgoo.
Burgoo - Lunch from 12:45pm – 3:00pm Dinner from 7pm – 9pm
Students use their student ID to receive meals. Each student starts out the year with $10 in “devil dollars” that may be used in the Burgoo for meals other than the meal plan options. Students may add money to this at any time.
