SU box
,Paresky is no longer "new"
[[Category:Williamspeak]]Each student has a personal SU Boxes Box where they receive campus and postal mail. SU stands for Student Union, from the time when because the boxes were are located in the student union. Now they are located in building (the buildings of the 4 [[dining hallParesky Center]]s:).
===Mailbox size===The location [[Baxter]] mailboxes were about three inches wide by four inches tall -- big enough for a letter, and big enough for a folded magazine or large envelope, but not big enough for the majority of your box depends on three-dimensional packages. Hence the happily-received package slip bearing the words '''PACKAGE TOO LARGE FOR BOX'''. This slip was so popular that the Baxter mail room sold T-shirts bearing these words. The new boxes in [[clusterParesky]] you are significantly bigger. This allows students to receive DVDs and other smallish packages intheir SU boxes, but it also means that the top boxes are very high up and the bottom boxes are very close to the ground; see [http://wso.williams.edu/discuss/comments.php?DiscussionID=758&page=1#Item_0 WSO discussion] on this topic.
==Combination=Mailbox-opening===To open your box you need a combination It used to be, in [[Baxter]] and then in the [[Dining hall|dining halls]] (which you receive at used the beginning of old Baxter mailboxes), that one had to first turn the school year. If you lose or forget dial to the left three times until reaching the first number, then to the right, and so on such that everything was "backwards" from a standard combinationlock. However, you can always go the new Paresky mailboxes turn to the right first, and thus are less confusing for [[campus post officeFirst-year|first-years]] and ask about it. It is absolutely free.
