  • Bikes
    • You are allowed to have a bicycle on campus as long as you secure it properly to a bike rack outside. However, we find that the majority of students who bring a bike to campus never use it throughout the year. Carefully consider whether you will actually use your bike before bringing it to campus. You may not keep your bicycle inside any housing facility for any reason.
