Students in Stoughton North 29, the room where the ceiling collapsed, were allowed back to their suite late last night.
There was very little damage to objects in the room, according to University spokesperson Doug L. Gavel, who said that only one chair and one lamp were broken by the failing cement.
Dean of Freshmen Elizabeth Studley Nathans said she was impressed by the speed with which the rooms were repaired and reopened.
"The expectation that even the students in whose room the ceiling collapse occurred can return to Stoughton this weekend bests by two weeks any guesses I would have made when I first saw the damage on Tuesday," Nathans wrote in an e-mail message.
Some students said the inspection and renovation calmed their fears that the building was unsafe after Tuesday's incident.
"The administration wouldn't put us in a building that they had severe doubts about," said Lauren R. Dorgan '04.
Other first-years said the incident was a blessing in disguise, as it encouraged them to meet fellow residents.
