My Room

What will my room be like?

Your room will be furnished with a bed, desk with bookshelves, chair, chest of drawers and a closet for each of you.

Your room will also have:

Network/Internet Access: All rooms have internet access! Simply plug your laptop into the computer jacks or log into King's wifi and you can surf the web or log onto the King College network.

Phone Access: All rooms have local phone service, but you will need to bring your own phone. You might consider purchasing a cell phone or a personal long distance calling card.
