Basic Furnishings - All rooms in UMC residence halls are provided with basic furnishings for each resident.

Most residence halls have lounges where students, friends, and family may visit, watch TV, play ping-pong or billiards, or have floor or inter-hall sponsored activities.
Room dimensions vary from hall to hall; however, a common two person room in Skyberg and McCall is 12 x 15. Brink bedrooms are 12 x 14.
