When do I find out my roommate?
Submitting your roommate selection form is just the first step in the process. Making sure this is done is essential. Nevertheless, as changes are made right up through the opening of school, dorm and room assignments are first released at registration. If you have special needs or concerns, please reach out to the Director of Residential Life directly.
What are options for laundry?
Laundry Service with E&R Cleaners
You can register for E&R’s services online or by phone. If you have any questions, please contact E&R’s School Customer Service Team at 800-243-7789 or visit https://www.eandrcleaners.com/campus/sign-up.
On Campus
There are washers/dryers available in the basement of the Estabrook Dining Hall for use by all. Cost of washers is $1.75 and dryers are $1.50. The system requires a $5 bill to get the initial laundry card and then you can fill that card however you’d like using their website. Laundry detergent is available in the school store. There is also a laundromat within walking distance from campus.
What should I do for banking?
There are two banks close to campus - Citizens Bank and TD Bank. It is easy to open an account with either bank during orientation or even before you come to campus. While some parents opt to regularly replenish their student’s deposit account with the Business Office, this fund can only be used for on-campus purchases.

What if I get sick?
Our Health Center is top notch and right on campus. If you happen to wake up sick in the morning or are feeling under the weather in general, dress for school and report to the health center before the start of your first class. If you wake in the middle of night ill, please contact your dorm parent for support.
Quality nurses staff the center throughout the day and evening and are on-call throughout the night to care for students who are ill and in need of overnight monitoring and TLC. Our Medical Director and his colleagues from Wolfeboro Pediatrics (located one block away) hold office hours at the Health Center three days a week for evaluation of acute illness or injury as well as for management of chronic medical or mental health conditions and are available 24/7 for consultation. For more pressing medical emergencies, Huggins Hospital is one block away.
Can I bring a pet?
While many have tried, sadly, pets of any kind are not allowed (including fish). Rest assured, there are plenty of faculty dogs and cats around for pet lovers. Allergic to pets? Do not fret – pets are not allowed in any campus buildings including public dorm spaces and student rooms.
What if I forget to bring toiletries?
Walgreens is about a five-minute walk downtown and there are two grocery stores close by as well in case you want to bargain hunt. If you cannot make it down to the store, ask your roommate or dorm parent to borrow what you may need until you have a chance to stock up.
What is there to do on the weekends?
From on campus activities to off, every weekend offers an array of opportunities. Nearly every weekend features a service activity, a movie/mall trip, a chance to take advantage of our location (lake, mountains, etc) and other seasonal excursions like haunted hay rides, corn mazes, ski trips, and water parks. On campus, a number of students choose to stick around for game shows, Coffee Houses, dodgeball events, and all sorts of other fun.
