"Vacating" dorm between semesters and summer

<p>Can somebody tell me whether all the personal belongings have to be removed between semesters and summer time? Thanks.</p>

<p>my sister had to vacate her room during the summer at Columbia. Many colleges have summer programs that need the dorm space.</p>

<p>I doubt you have to leave between semesters. At least I dont ever remember my sister doing that.</p>

<p>Most schools require you to take stuff out during the summer. I’m 99% sure this is the case at Brown, especially since they have a summer program. You also change dorms between school years.</p>

<p>As for between semesters, I am 99% sure that woudln’t happen. You don’t change rooms. There is no reason to do this, an no school that I know of requires students to do it.</p>

<p>You’re right on both fronts, Pete.</p>
