All buildings/rooms/apartments/suites will be inspected by Facilities Management and Planning prior to a student's arrival. Students will only be allowed to check into rooms/suites deemed by Facilities Management and Planning to be in move-in condition and with all College furniture present. Within 72 hours of your arrival, residents have the obligation to conduct a thorough room/suite inspection and report any concerns (condition of the room/suite, furniture, maintenance needs, repairs needed) to Facilities Management and Planning via the Work Order System. Additionally, submitting a Work Order within 72 hours of your move-in date makes you eligible for the damage appeals process at the conclusion of your stay. If a Work Order is not submitted, it is understood that the room was in move-in condition upon your arrival and all furniture was present. The condition of rooms and suites is the residents’ collective responsibility.
All rooms/apartments/suites will again be inspected after your departure. Any damages found in the room, intentional or accidental, beyond normal wear and tear and/or missing furniture or trash and recycle bins, will be the responsibility of the resident/suitemates along with the corresponding damage charges.
Public areas/common rooms (halls, stairways, lounges, laundry rooms, lobbies, bathrooms, kitchens, etc.) are the collective responsibility of residents of that hall, floor, room, or suite. Babson College makes every attempt to attribute damage and vandalism charges to the individual(s) responsible, but when those responsible cannot be found, all members of a suite, room, floor or building may be charged equally for damages. It is our hope that affected residents will cooperate to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
