Closet space for a triple?

<p>I was recently assigned to a Rieber Hall triple...are two of us gunn have to share a closet...and if so is there room to bring either a fridge or a small something to keep the rest of my clothes in? do triples really suck that badly..o and MY MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION..how's the rieber party/social scene?</p>

<p>I too am in a triple at Rieber Hall. I didn't realize there was a possibility that there would only be 2 closets for 3 people. Hmmm confirm/deny?</p>

<p>When I visited, the triple dorm in Dystra had three closets. I might be wrong.</p>

<p>ok so this is what i heard...apparently the two people who share the bunk get the 2 closets and the person who gets the elevated bed gets a sort of chest of drawers under the bed and the desk is under the bed too i guess..here's my plan: get there first and get the closet even if you have to sleep in the bunk
ps-sorry to my future roomates...even though my plan probably won't work considering im coming all the way from ny</p>

<p>A triple isn't as bad as it sounds (and this year, many of you freshies will have triples because of the shut-down-for-construction of a reshall where most second-years opt to go). There is plenty enough closet space, but not so much floor space. </p>

<p>Triples are the same size as doubles, but include a loft-style bed, a bunk bed, three tables, and one free-standing closet. There are two 'clothes closets' in the wall as well as two closets with a set of drawers and a mirror for those foldable clothes. You'll have to work out who gets what. The one left with the free-standing closet might have the worst end of the stick, as they don't have a connceting set of drawers, so sharing is a must (give them the underside bed storage drawers of the bunk bed). </p>

<p>There is enough room for a fridge and a TV (but only one of each), but you might have to shift the furniture around. Talk with your future roommates and make it work. :)</p>

<p>i think that diff rooms have diff layouts...
the rieber vista room i was in for orientation had 2 freestanding wardrobes, 1 shorter wardrobe under the lofted bed with the desk under it, 2 standalone desks, 2 chests of drawers (3 drawers each) and 2 drawers under the bunk beds.
if you want measurements of the furniture, i'll post them later.
yes i'm a freak lol.</p>

<p>not a freak...just very, very informed :p</p>

<p>couldn't have put it better myself!</p>

<p>hey liyana...does the housing website lists the dimensions for the furnitures/dorms? or did you get the measurements elsewhere?</p>

<p>is there enough room to bring a filing cabinet</p>

<p>ek111: Go to the ask housing of the Housing website. There is Q&A about the measurements of the closet and drawer. there is a lot of info there.</p>

<p>thanks momca25!</p>

<p>when i was at orientation i had a measuring tape with me.
hence why i said i was a freak...</p>

<p>If you're in a triple, there definitely isn't room for a filling cabinent. Also to the original poster, the third person will have a stand-alone wardrobe closet. I couldn't imagine having to share one of the closets in Rieber with another person. They definitely aren't big enough for that.</p>

<p>lol....measuring tape...that was the last thing on my mind </p>

<p>but, nonetheless, a good idea liyana :D</p>

<p>lol thanks ;)</p>

<p>oh and if anyone is curious (or just too lazy to look it up hehe) here's what i measured (again, triple room in rieber vista)</p>

<p>wardrobe under the desk: 34.5 in wide x 55 in tall x 24 in deep</p>

<p>standalone wardrobe: same but 58 in tall</p>

<p>desk drawers: 13 in wide x 4.5 tall (2) and 8.5 tall (1)</p>

<p>desk shelf: 38 in wide
(12 in to first shelf, 10 in to second)</p>

<p>chest of drawers (3 drawers): 28 in wide x 7-8 in tall x 22 deep</p>

<p>under bunk bed drawers (2 drawers): 38 in wide x 6 in tall x 24 in deep</p>

<p>vertical space under bunk bed: 17 in (i don't think that included ledge thingy so subtract a couple)</p>

<p>and there ya have it folks... why liyana is crazy...</p>

<p>Wow... good job!</p>

<p>You are right, there are different types of furniture in the different types of dorms... :) </p>

<p>The normal reshalls have the furniture I listed on page one and the suites/plazas have the furniture that liyana posted. </p>

<p>The reshalls are: Hedrick Hall, Rieber Hall, Dykstra, and Sproul (which no one is living in).
The plazas/suites are: De Neve Plaza, Hedrick Summit, Rieber Vista, Rieber Terrace, Sunset Village.</p>

<p>On another note.... you guys got to stay in Rieber Vista for orientation?! Oh my, classy, classy. :P When I went we stayed at Sproul, where the bathrooms are down the hall instead of connected to the rooms. Hahaha. The real dorm life. ;) I love it.</p>

<p>Just be aware that if you're staying in a reshall, your furniture and room will be different than the nice plazas and suites and you'll have to walk down the hall half-naked (if you wanted to anyway) to go to take a shower. :)</p>

<p>Hopefully you guys get the nice side of the reshalls.... the one with individual changing rooms (Hedrick North, Rieber South... don't know about the others...). Bring shower shoes!</p>

<p>shower shoes you mean just slippers right? am i the only one here looking forward to the trips to the shower half naked? haha</p>

<p>:rolleyes:</p>

<p>There are actual shower shoes shoes (or slippers rather) that look like abrasive sponges.</p>
