In Summer 2009, students will be housed in Esopus Hall. This fully air-conditioned residence hall opened in the fall of 2001. The name was chosen to recognize the Native American tribes' ongoing influence in this region of New York. Esopus Hall is a traditional corridor style residence hall, with rooms designed for double occupancy. All rooms are wired for all technology connections. Esopus contains several study and recreation lounges, a computer room, fitness center, and laundry facilities. Please see the housing handbook available online for details regarding residence hall rules and regulations as well as information on the configuration of the rooms (Page 20 for Esopus Hall): http://www.newpaltz.edu/reslife/handbook0809.pdf.

Telephone Service
The University operates its own telephone system to provide on campus, local and long distance calling, voice mail and data access. Information on policies and rates will be provided to you when you arrive. At other times, you may contact the Telecommunications Office in HAB 40 or call (845) 257-3003. The University does not provide the actual telephone instrument as part of the service available on campus although some phones may be available. All calls made off campus require a personal billing number (PBN). You will receive your PBN approximately one week after arriving on campus.
Room Furnishings
Each room is furnished with two beds and mattresses (sheet size: twin extra long), two desks, two chairs, two dressers, one mirror, one floor lamp, two wastebaskets, venetian blinds, and two wardrobes for hanging clothes. These items are not to be removed from the room. Students are encouraged to bring items necessary to live comfortably, such as a desk lamp to add to the existing lighting in their room and a flashlight to use during power outages. Linens, towels, pillows, and blankets are not provided so you should plan to either bring these items or buy them on the shopping trip arranged by International Programs during your first day on campus.
