House Rules · Applicable to all branches

Rules & Regulations.

These rules exist so that every resident — from first-year students to working professionals — can live, study, and rest comfortably under one roof. We review them yearly with resident feedback in mind.

01

    Smoking is not permitted inside rooms, corridors, dining areas, or any indoor space. Designated outdoor areas may be used where provided.
