Lofts of any type are not permitted unless issued by the University; bed risers and cinder blocks are also on the non-permitted items list.
At 11'8" x 14', Millennium rooms are among the tighter first-year doubles on campus -- measure before buying furniture or a full-size rug.

Living in Millennium Hall: what to know before you pack

The room

Millennium Hall bedrooms are double-occupancy and measure 11'8" x 14', a compact footprint by Drexel first-year standards, so plan storage vertically and skip oversized rugs. Each resident gets an extra-long twin bed listed at 80in x 36in x 36in with height that can be raised or lowered, a wardrobe (33.5in x 23in x 72in), a desk (38in x 19in x 54in) with chair, and a dresser (29in x 20in x 20in). The 36-inch figure is the bed's maximum height, not the clearance beneath it, so under-bed storage needs to be low-profile. Rooms are assigned by same gender with mixed-gender floors, and gender-inclusive housing is available upon request as available.

Day to day

Millennium is a 17-floor high-rise with three elevators, two lounges on each floor, and a sky lounge on the 17th floor. The bathroom model is more private than a traditional communal room: floors 2-16 each have two single-occupancy full bathrooms, six single-occupancy toilets, and six single-occupancy showers, with two open sink banks in the hallway; floor 17 has one single-occupancy full bathroom, three single-occupancy toilets, and three single-occupancy showers. Community kitchens on floors 2-17 include a fridge, sink, stove, and oven. Air conditioning and heat are central and building-wide here, not per-room -- worth knowing if you like fine control over your own thermostat. There is also gaming equipment on the first floor and a multipurpose room with a TV.

Move-in day

First-year students in Millennium Hall move in during Drexel's Move-In Weekend, September 12-13, 2026, the same shared window used for every first-year hall rather than a per-hall assigned day. Drexel's 'Cruise Ship Move-In' has the University and Student Services team unload your vehicle and carry items to your room while your family parks and continues through check-in. Specific arrival dates and times post to the Housing and Dining portal via DrexelOne starting in August. Welcome Week runs September 14-20, with classes starting the following Tuesday.
