Do Not Disturb (DND) Quiet Community

Communal living isn’t always easy; sometimes noise is the most difficult thing to adjust to and headphones only drown out so much. Put your Housing & Residence Life experience on DND Mode and take some of the worry out. Whether you are a member of our neurodivergent community and prone to sensitive hearing and overstimulation or you just prefer an extra quiet living space, DND has you covered. While Housing & Residence Life isn't able to guarantee a completely "noise-free" environment, DND residents are expected to make greater efforts to respect Quiet Hours at all times.
