Q: How do I arrange for phone/internet?
A: Your house may come equipped with internet – this will depend on how many current members are staying in the house over the summer months. You may contact the office and ask to be put in contact with the current members of the house you will move into, in order to check into the internet situation prior to your arrival.

If you require phone, you can contact Bell upon your arrival and activate the phone jack in your bedroom for the summer months.
