Beds, Lofts & Linens
LOFTS: Each residence hall has its own unique lofting option.
- Cater, Churchill, Dinan, Johnson, MLLC West, Pavek, Reed, Seim, Stockbridge, and Weible:
- These halls have loftable bed frames (with safety side rails), that adjust to multiple heights. See pictures below.
- Burgum, Sevrinson and Thompson:
- Lofts are available for rent through College Loft Services (CSI). These are the only outside lofts allowed in NDSU residence halls. CSI lofts raise your bed frame 60 inches off the floor, and if you want a bunk bed style set up, the second bed can be slid underneath. Safety side rails are included with your loft rental. See pictures below.
BED SIZES: All residence halls have twin extra-long mattresses (80” in length), except for Weible and Burgum which have regular-size twin mattresses. Residence Life recommends all residents bring twin extra-long sheets regardless of residence hall. This size sheet will fit any mattress on campus, making a potential move to a different hall easier.
LINENS: Residence Hall Association (RHA) partners with SWAKU, a company that provides students with a convenient, affordable way to purchase extra-long sheets and bedding items, as well as other campus-living necessities. Proceeds from this program are used for events and scholarships in the residence halls! SHOP SWAKU NOW
