University houses and apartments are equipped with full kitchens and bathrooms and include all utilities (gas, electric, water, sewer, trash). Students are responsible for setting up their own telephone, cable, and internet accounts (access points are available in all properties). Most properties are not furnished and require students to bring their own furniture. None of the traditional houses or apartments have university provided laundry machines although some may have hook-ups available.
All properties have:
- Heat service but not central air.
- Kitchens equipped with fridge/freezer, stove/oven, and sink; some have dishwashers, although that is not common.
If residents want to bring in other appliances not already present in their unit (a/c units, laundry machines, etc.), they must request permission in advance and get approval from Residence Life and Facilities Maintenance prior to bringing the appliance. Students should keep in mind the overall electrical draw of the appliances they wish to bring.
Amenities | Amenities vary by location. A student-reported listing is located under Housing Selection for Current Students. |
Utilities | Homes include full utilities (gas, electric, water, sewer, trash). A trash can and recycling bin are provided for each unit. Residents are responsible for placing cans at curb for weekly pick up (pick-up is Monday morning). Sprecher/Keller Apartment residents must take their trash and recycling to the dumpsters and designated collection bins in their parking lot. |
Technology | Students are responsible for cable and internet installation and payment. Dish / satellite installation is not permitted without previous approval. Sprecher/Keller Apartments have campus internet access. |
Laundry | Not all houses have a washer and dryer hook up. If a unit has a hook-up available, students are permitted to bring their own machines or can rent from our approved vendor. Please see the amenities listing under Housing Selection > Current Students for more information. Sprecher/Keller Apartments each have a common laundry room for residents (laundry rooms are key-access and machines are coin-free). |
Appliances | All homes include a fridge/freezer unit and oven/range unit. Installation of microwaves and dishwashers are uncommon and vary by property. The University does not provide laundry appliances although they are available for rental through our approved vendor (under Forms and Resources). |
Furnishings | Students are responsible for providing bedroom and common space furnishings as all Witten'Burbs units are unfurnished. Window coverings are provided for bedrooms and bathrooms; common spaces window coverings are the responsibility of the occupant. Sprecher/Keller apartments are fully furnished with common space furniture and bedroom furniture - these items must remain in the unit and cannot be stored. |
Exterior | The exterior features of Witten'Burbs units vary by property. Occupants are responsible for all snow and ice removal from their property walkways and driveways (including the sidewalk along the street directly in front of their yard). The University takes care of mowing for Witten'Burbs properties (students must keep lawns free from obstructions) and snow/ice removal for common parking lots and apartment complex pathways. Occupants must keep the exterior in an orderly manner including refraining from using inappropriate window coverings, using uphostered/interior furniture outside, keeping exterior picked up, etc. Most Witten'Burbs parking is street parking. Parking is never permitted on lawns. All Witten'Burbs residents should register their vehicles through Wittenberg Police Division. |
Eligibility | Properties are limited to students who have 60 credit hours or more at the time of selection/assignment and have lived on campus for at least one year. |
Renewal | Properties are able to be renewed for consecutive years, but Residence Life reserves the right to remove a property from the Housing Selection at any time. Properties may also be removed or added to the available list of properties depending upon facility or University needs. |
Floorplans | Nearly all Burbs floor plans are available here. If you do not see a floor plan for your property, we do not currently have it but are working towards getting floor plans for all properties. Floor plans are not to scale and are just meant to help gauge general layout. Anything requiring firm measurements should wait until move-in so that students can take their own measurements. Residence Life is unable to allow students early access for measuring and is unable to take measurements for students. |
