Equipment such as vacuum cleaners are available for use by the residents.

Resident comments: a clean building with great maintenance staff... more apartment-like than dorm-like: suitemates instead of roommates... less social and more private than a dorm... has a spacious courtyard and lounge with a great barbecue area... has a weekly coffee hour and movie events... has strong intramural sports participation.

Students comprise the Residents' Association that has charge of the House Activities Program and relations with the Administration. A House tax of $5 per month is charged to each resident to support House programs. This charge is determined by the Residents' Association and billed with your room charge through the Bursar's Office. Both the monthly room charge and the house tax are reflected on your student account statement.

Professor David Mindell and his wife Pam serve as the Edgerton Housemasters. They provide guidance and support for the residents and organize events throughout the year.
