Bed size comes from the hall

Most Arkansas housing uses a 36-by-80-inch long twin mattress, but the university's official chart includes exceptions, including some regular twin beds in Futrall.

Do not buy every Arkansas student Twin XL bedding automatically

Check the assigned hall and room using the university's mattress-size chart.

University Housing provides a bed and mattress, desk, chair, closet or wardrobe, dresser and Wi-Fi. Furniture and mattresses must stay in the room.

Packing priorities

  • Bedding sized to the assigned mattress
  • Mattress protector and topper
  • Towels, shower shoes and caddy for community-bath assignments
  • Laundry basket and detergent
  • Approved surge protector
  • Desk lamp without a halogen bulb
  • Cleaning supplies
  • Storage sized after confirming the bed height

Arkansas-specific restrictions

Residents may not construct their own lofts or bunks. Some university beds can be lofted, while others require a FIX IT request. Follow the wall-fastener rules for the assigned hall because drywall and cinder-block rooms use different approved products.

  • Check the Housing Portal for the assignment and arrival instructions.
  • Label every container with the student's name, hall and room.

  • Coordinate shared items before arriving.
