The Office of Residence Life recognizes that all students may not be able to bring computers to campus and offers two state-of-the-art computer labs. The labs are located in North Campus Residence Complex, and West Campus and are accessible and free of charge by all students with their student IDs. Each lab offers both Macintosh and IBM compatible computers for use, printers and a variety of software including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and high-speed Internet access.

The laundry tracker system, Automatic Laundry, allows Southern residents to monitor the status of washers and dryers in the residence halls from the comfort of their own computers. The service is available at no charge to all housing students.
Using Automatic Laundry, students can locate an available washer/dryer in their residence hall and view how much time remains for the cycles on machines already in use. In addition, students can ask to be notified via email or text when a machine becomes available.
Most residence halls have recreation equipment available for residents' use including pool tables and equipment, foosball tables, and ping pong tables. Most halls also have common area lounges equipped with televisions and cable access for community viewing. Several halls now feature video game rooms (Brownell Hall, Farnham Hall, West Campus, and North Campus) and the North Campus recreation room is equipped with air hockey and a multi-game arcade cabinet. In addition, community lounges within buildings are often the sites for hall programming.
