Living in Cone Hall: what to know before you pack

The room

Cone Hall rooms run about 15'8" x 11'11" and are configured as traditional co-ed-by-room doubles. Furnishings include a movable bed frame per resident, a 30-inch chest of drawers, a movable wardrobe with a mirror inside (rooms lack built-in closets), a desk, a desk chair, and vertical blinds on the windows. Like other first-year halls, the 60-inch bed frames raise to full height or lower to 3/4 height only — they don't loft or bunk — and Cone's page specifically states bed risers are not allowed, so students plan storage around under-bed space at whatever height the frame is set.

Day to day

Cone earned LEED Gold certification and offers a lobby with a television, a separate study lounge, kitchen facilities, vending on ID-card swipe, and a water bottle filling station. Community bathrooms serve residents, in line with App State's traditional first-year hall model. In-building laundry is covered by the housing fee. Residents are required to carry a dining meal plan; a MicroFridge combo unit can be rented through the university's third-party vendor if a fridge/microwave combo is preferred over the standard 5-cubic-foot fridge allowance.

Move-in day

Cone's first-year residents move in during the August 11-13, 2026 window alongside the rest of App State's new-student cohort, selecting an appointment slot in the University Housing Portal after room selection (adjustable through August 1). The 30-minute curbside unload rule applies building-wide. The mandatory residence hall meeting follows at 7pm on Thursday, August 13.
