That would be too much of a hassle. It does have drink and candy machines with super cheap prices!

We don't have a pole We do have an upstairs, but it's just used for storage for the time being. They have talked about fixing it up and adding a few bunks for bad weather, though. Still won't be a pole.

We use a digital radio system at the university Devin. Ours is also a trunked system. We figured out our fire alarm trouble Tim. Water leak in one of the rooms causing an issue with a smoke detector.

They will let it dry out good and inspect it. We do keep spares on campus. They will program a spare for that spot and then send that one out to be checked.

Probably saves money, especially since budgets are tight everywhere.

It does Tim. Especially since the vendor charges a good penny to do service like that. We do have a service contract but it is still expensive. Biggest headache is just getting everything back together. Also had to let our student life department know even though there are no students in the room. They might be hearing about it after spring break for any damaged items.

Do the kids have to pay damages to the dorm, like a rental security deposit?
