<p>Ok, so it says that lofting is allowed as long as it is done through a "work request" with campus life. Just curious--does that cost anything?</p>
<p>you can loft without a work request from campus life. Don't listen to their BS.</p>
<p>I believe that you don't have to pay for any sort of work request like that, but don't hold me to it.</p>
<p>It's free but make sure you do it the SECOND you get on campus. What happened last year is that a bunch of people put in requests to have their beds lofted and campus life eventually ran out of lofting kits. If you can't get a lofting kit from campus life then you can just use cinder blocks or bed raisers.</p>
<p>do the beds have different levels in them, if i wanted to raise my bed to have more room for storage underneath? I know some schools have beds with different levels of holes where the bed can be raised or lowered, like if they want to bunk or something. I feel like I was just really confusing right there, but hopefully someone knows what im talking about. anyone know?</p>
<p>You can ask Housing Services over the summer to loft your bed before you move in. The beds don't loft very high - S had his bed raised to the maximum but there was still not enough room to put furniture underneath. Which is ok, since it's not fun to climb up and down if you're sick, sore, tired, etc. Be forewarned about cinder blocks though - they are against house rules and may subject the resident to a fine.</p>
<p>I think that you are allowed to use cinder blocks, if you so choose. However, if you leave them in the room at the end of the year, you'll be charged bigtime. I guess it's a pretty common thing to leave them, since there's a special (and exorbitant) charge specifically for each cinder block left in your room when you leave.</p>
<p>so if u do get ur bed lofted, how high does it usually go?</p>
<p>and r there bunk beds in cornell? if so, how do u find out whether u have one?</p>
<p>Cinder Blocks</p>
<pre><code>*
Cinder blocks may not be used for raising or lofting beds and will be removed at the resident's expense of $25/block.
*
Any cinder blocks found in the residence hall at the end of the year will be billed to the resident responsible. In addition, any damage to furniture or floor due to use of cinder blocks will be billed to the resident(s) responsible.
*
Devices designed for raising beds that will not damage floors or cause unsafe conditions are sold at the Campus Store and at local businesses.

<p>there is more info on Cornell website - student life - undergraduate housing - there are several sections of policies - in alphabethical order - that cover everything from alcohol to - idk - the keeping of Zebras I guess.</p>
<p>1) You can loft your bed pretty high. My roommate lofted his to the max and he could fit both his desk, dresser, and mini-fridge underneath. There are also other levels that you can loft it to.</p>
<p>2) Don't worry about the cinder blocks. You can use them but just make sure you remove them before winter break because they do room checks during the vacation.</p>
<p>if the university will loft your bed for you, way drag home cinderblocks instead? why not use the official lofting system?</p>
<p>LOL exactly...and besides uh...wouldnt you need a couple of cinderblocks?! o_O</p>
<p>Alright, sweet, thanks for all of the answers!</p>
<p>Dancergal, depending on where you're living you may have bedposts with different levels. I know that the beds in Court-Kay-Bauer and Mews move up and down along the actual bedposts. You can fit a ton of stuff under them if you put them all the way up.</p>
<p>thanks strawberry, do you know if the new west campus houses have those type of beds? I'm in bethe.</p>
<p>Yes, I'm pretty sure that the new dorms on west have those types of beds. You can adjust them to about five different height settings.</p>
