College Courtyard Blog
The College Courtyard Apartments now have a blog. Our new blog web address is collegecourtyard.blogspot.com. We will be posting the monthly newsletter and use the blog as a way of communicating important information. Please feel free to use the blog to tell us about activities at the University or in the College Courtyard community.
Street Parking
If you park on Seminary Street, remember to pick up your new street parking permit from the office. The permits issued at the beginning of the fall semester expired on December 31, 2007. We don’t want to you get a ticket so please stop by the office and get your new permit.
Watch Your Step
During the winter months we make every effort to keep the sidewalks and stairs free of snow and ice. Never the less, please use caution after a storm. Use the handrails on the stairs and step carefully when on the sidewalk to the north of the building as it is steep and gets little sun.
Useless Fact: After being picked an orange cannot ripen.
Please Don’t Drink and Drive
Your safety is important to us. Please don’t drink and drive. If you drink alcohol (please be 21 years of age and older) get a designated driver or walk home. Don’t ruin your life with a DUI or worse, death of yourself or others. It’s not worth it.
Laundry Rooms Don’t Like Cold Weather
During the cold winter months it is important that the windows in the laundry rooms remain closed. Open windows may cause the pipes to freeze and cause considerable damage. This will force us to close the laundry rooms until they are repaired. None of us want that to happen so please be careful.
Useless Fact: Beijing boasts the world's largest Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant.
Need More Storage Space?
The College Courtyard has storage lockers available for rent for only $20 per month. The 4’ by 5’ lockers are located on the second and third floors. These storage lockers are a great place to store skis, bicycles, or camping equipment. See Rebecca for more information.
Useless Fact: The driest place on earth is Calama, in the Atacama Desert in Chile.
No Smoking
The College Courtyard Apartments are non-smoking student residences. Smoking is prohibited in the apartments, on the walkways, balconies and the courtyard. Guests entering the apartments with a cigarette may extinguish them in the urns by the front gate.
No Parking
The area in front of the dumpster is a no parking zone. Cars parked in the area in front of the dumpster are subject to towing. In addition, Reno Disposal writes down the license plate number of cars that block the dumpster and violators may have to pay for additional garbage pickups.
More Useless Facts: Canada has more inland waters and lakes than any other country in the world.

Vacuum
A vacuum is available for your use. If you wish to borrow our vacuum it can be checked out at the office. Please return the vacuum immediately after use, as other students may need to use it.
2008/2009 School Year
Residents wishing to stay at the College Courtyard after their current lease expires must inform Rebecca by March 1, 2008. If notice is not received by March 1st we will assume that you intend to vacate your apartment when your lease expires and we will begin the process of leasing it to new students.
Useless Fact: The three dots in Domino's pizza stand for the first three stores. They wanted to add a dot for each new store, but obviously that would be impossible since there are now over seven thousand stores.
Snacks Available
As you prepare for that exam does the grumble of your stomach keep you from concentrating? A quick snack can help you quell those hunger pangs. Snack and drink machines are available in the first floor laundry room. It’s quick, easy and convenient.
Useless Fact: Water expands 9% when it is frozen.
Watch the Gate
Please be very careful when driving through the garage gate. If the gate is going down, DO NOT try to slip under the gate. Once the gate begins to go down it will not stop if you press the button on the garage gate opener. It will only stop when it hits something and it could do considerable damage to both your car and the gate if this occurs. The gate is set to stay up an adequate amount of time for one car. You will be held responsible for any damage if the camera shows that you tried to slip through the gate inappropriately.
More Uselessness: In Alabama, it is against the law to wear a fake mustache that could cause laughter in the church.
