No, this is not permitted unless you can evidence a medical need for additional furniture.
There are no pets allowed in any of the University residences. Assistance dogs are obviously the exception.
There is no restriction on bringing a car to Abertay.

Yes. The University provides secure bike storage on campus and at most of the halls.
Bikes to be properly secured outdoors, in the designated areas at halls, so that fire escape routes are not blocked.
Unless specifically required, and recommended by the University's disability services, pets, white goods, kitchen equipment, or other larger electronic items are not allowed in your room.
The list of items not permitted includes candles, fridges, freezers, tumble dryers, microwaves, toasters, kettles and heaters. This is not the full list so if you aren't sure, please contact the residences office and we will help.
If you have a disability that requires additional equipment in your room - such as a fridge for storing medication - please get in touch with us so we can discuss appropriate arrangements.
Please visit the TV Licencing website for full information. The University doesn't provide TV licence in halls.
TV Licensing's database lists addresses that don't have a TV Licence, including university accommodation, and officers do visit unlicensed properties.
