• One of the goals for B&B is that students set a schedule that promotes their success and safety.

• We ask that students agree to be in your dorm by 11pm on weeknights.

• The 11pm time is flexible if you need to stay out later but please inform your roommates and other B&B community members.

• Weekends (Friday and Saturday) will need to have agreements also.
