For the safety and well being of all residents we ask that a variety of items not be brought into the residence halls. Appliances such as toasters, microwaves, and halogen lamps are all possible sources of fire and are therfore forbidden. Unfortunately, pets of any kind* are not allowed in the dorms.

Wondering what to bring to Peabody with you? Use this handy checklist to make sure you don't leave anything at home! - Non-Approved items
While there are many things that we encourage you to bring with you to Peabody, here is a list of things that we ask you to keep at home.
Decorating/Alterations
You must adhere to the following guidelines in decorating and caring for your personal space.
- You may not install equipment, make alterations, paint, or make repairs. You may not change or add to existing wiring.
- Transparent tape, adhesives, tacks, or nails are not to be used on walls. Painters tape, pushpins, and removable 3M poster strips are permitted for hanging on walls.
- For safety reasons, nothing may be attached to room ceilings or doors with the exception of one small message board on your door. You may not obstruct the smoke detector or decorate your room in a way that impairs a quick exit from the room in case of an emergency.
Please see the link above for a list of prohibited items.
Damage Charges
The student is liable for damage to the premises caused by an act or omission of the student and student’s guest. Upon taking possession of the space, the student agrees to complete a Room Condition Report, which reflects the condition of the room. A final inspection by a Peabody staff member will occur after closedown to make the final damage assessment. The student agrees to reimburse the Peabody Institute for damages and defacement to space he/she occupies during the term of this contract exclusive of normal wear. The room must be left in “broom clean” condition; failure to do so will result in a custodial cleaning charge.
Damage to common areas will be calculated and distributed amongst the residents on the floor.
Security and Access to the Residence Hall Towers
A security access system has been installed in the Peabody residence hall towers to screen individuals entering the towers and limit access to those individuals authorized to enter the residence hall.
Please inform your visitors that they will be required to sign in with Campus Security. Residents wishing to have overnight guests must fill out a request form.
