Additional Services & Partnerships

Residence Hall Linens Program

Stack of Residence Hall linens.Drury University has partnered with the Residence Hall Linens Program to offer dorm essentials to help get you ready for the big move. They offer many options for bedding, bath, and storage which can be purchased individually or as packages. 

Renter's Insurance for Students

Drury University strongly recommends renters insurance for all students.  Renters insurance provides valuable protection if your personal belongings are stolen or damaged, including laptops, computers, smartphones, bicycles, game consoles, textbooks, clothing and other personal items. If your laptop or other personal belongings are stolen, you are responsible for replacing them, not the University.  With a renter’s insurance plan any personal items that are stolen or damaged can be replaced at a full cost subject to a much smaller deductible than your parent’s homeowners insurance plan. Renters insurance deductibles may be as low as $50 compared to a homeowner deductible, which may be $1,000 or more.  Renters insurance may also protect you financially for unintentional damage to your university housing or bodily injury for which you are liable.

As a resident on campus (or a renter off campus), we strongly advise that you consider enrolling in a renters insurance program. One company that specializes in student renter’s insurance with low deductibles is National Student Services, INC. Visit the site or stop by FSC 120 for more information.
