Lyman Apartments
You can see photos of a Lyman apartment on the Lyman
Community Associates' web site.
Each apartment is about 575 square feet and has its own
bathroom, living-dining room, kitchen, and storage closet.
All apartments are carpeted, except the kitchen and bathrooms,
where there is linoleum flooring. The bedroom are about
9 feet by 11 feet. See the floor plans and photos to get
an idea of what this looks like.
All apartments in Lyman are furnished with a stove, oven,
refrigerator, garbage disposal, pantry, sofa, coffee table,
breakfast table with two chairs, bookshelf, mini-blinds,
and shower curtain. Each bedroom has a twin extra long bed,
a desk and chair, a dresser, and a bookshelf.
"Furnished" means just the furniture and major appliances;
it does not mean things like pots, pans, dishes, microwaves,
phones, sheets, or pillows. In other words, you should bring
all of the really homey stuff that will make an apartment
your home.

Storage
There is no storage space in Lyman (other than in your
apartment) either for personal belongings or unwanted furniture.
Maintenance will not remove and store beds or other Lyman
furniture. You have to store your unwanted furniture off-campus
at your own expense. If you choose to store your Lyman bed,
keep in mind that you are responsible for returning it in
good condition when you check out. If you store Lyman furniture
from any common area, your roommate must agree that it's
ok, since it is his furniture as well and you are jointly
liable for anything missing or damaged.
 Lyman
is currently the only graduate residence with covered bicycle
corrals. These are two of these locked, fenced bicycle enclosures
at Lyman to store your bicycle in a dry and secure place.
