Bringing a bed to college

<p>Is it possible? I have a full size temperpedic matress and i honestly cant imagine on sleeping on something else it is so nice. so im thinking im just gonna have to deal but is it something the university would allow.</p>

<p>well, you know, college beds are not regular sized, they are usually longer and more narrow. your mattress might not fit in the frame :[</p>

<p>Doesn’t seem at all practical.</p>

<p>Depends on the school, but I don’t think that this would be allowed. Usually, the existing furniture is required to stay in the room, though I suppose you might be able to take it apart and store it underneath your bed. If the bed causes you to occupy more than half/a third/a quarter (depending on whether you have 1, 2, or 3 roommates), then don’t bring it. Also, do you know if the beds are normally lofted or attached to the wall/floor in any way, because those could cause problems as well.</p>

<p>Also, I’d suggest looking into whether there are any temperpedic mattress pads for sale.</p>

<p>Yeah im just gonna get some nice mattress pads. im gonna miss my bed though lol. anyway i have one more question. i have a nice office chair i want to bring for my desk but they have a real cheap chair supplied for students but students are allowed to bring there own chairs. so i am wondering how students go about storing the school supplied chair i cant find anything on the website and im refering to Michigan State University just to let u no</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You try one of those temperpedic travel mattress. It’s not quite as comfy as the full ones but it still feels pretty nice.</p>

<p>Do you mean storing for during the summer session when classes are out? My (old) college would store students’ belongings in the basement or attic in whichever dorm they lived at. They probably have a similar procedure at your school; call and ask.</p>

<p>However, I suggest being careful about what you choose to bring. It can be hellish trying to bring everything back home later on.</p>

<p>You might be able to stick the school chair someplace out of the way and use it to hold something. Otherwise, you might be able to get residential life to move it away; depends on the school, but I’d check it out.</p>

<p>Hmm… if you’re that worried about giving up your bed, why not commute?</p>

<p>HAHA this isnt a serious thread. Bed to college?<br>
ok my dorm is like. just big enough for me to stand up. its TINY.</p>

<p>next year im getting my own townhouse thought (thank god). maybe then I can get my tempurpedic haha.</p>

<p>I know a lot of people who ignore the rule about not removing furniture from the room and just store the crappy chair at home. Most RAs I know ignore it, they don’t really care as long as it’s in the room when you move out.</p>

<p>The school you choose may offer to store the supplied bed frame & mattress, it’s something you’d need to look into. However, my main concern is not what to do with the dorm’s bed, but rather the size of your mattress. Most dorm rooms come with an extra-long twin (39 </p>
