<p>What are some things people have?</p>
<p>Well if you want your room to be the hangout room, I’d recommend a TV and gaming systems (preferably of the Nintendo brand). There was a kid in my hall with a TIVO that I was really jealous of. Also it’s really nice to have a freezer on top of your refrigerator for ice cream/vodka. Also having some nice speakers is a big plus. Make sure you have two fans for temperature control if you’re not in an air conditioned dorm (they’re also great for white noise).</p>
<p>Make sure you have forks and cups, don’t ask why but you’ll randomly need them at some point and they’re really nice to have.</p>
<p>Can’t think of anything else right now but I may repost.</p>
<p>A futon with plenty of cushions is a must if you want your room to be a hangout spot. The more seating, the better. Bean bags work as well.</p>
<p>haha, my friend says that you dont want to be the kid in the hall with a tripped out video game setup. Theres always someone else who will do that and have their room be swarmed by other randoms non-stop</p>
<p>to be honest, unless you study in your room or plan on being anti social you don’t spend a lot of time just chilling in your room unless you’re 1) getting ready to go out for the night or 2) getting ready to go to bed/ finished with hw for the night. Other than that your not in your room as often as you would think (at least as often as I thought I would be)</p>
<p>I do recommend a monitor to set up dual monitors with a laptop though, extra desktop space.</p>
<p>1)A VPN on your laptop. With download speeds in dorms its almost like they want you to pirate (<a href=“http://i.imgur.com/fZkNj.png[/url]”>http://i.imgur.com/fZkNj.png</a>). Also try to get on private trackers. They are sweet.
2)Good pair of headphones, by which I mean not Beats. They leak a hell of a lot, and don’t even have good sound quality for the price. Additionally by getting a good pair of headphones, you will be courteous to your neighbors and your roommate. Dont be the guy who blasts music.

3) PC gaming? I dunno, latest generation of consoles is a joke. If you heed step 1 you wouldn’t be paying for pc games anyways. A good mouse is really the only necessity nowadays.
@kyle: I thought everyone just takes that stuff from the Dining halls anyways? if you do just make sure to return it before year’s end.
@kobudnik: Assignment should come first before thinking about it. An 11x12 in Markley would make that an impossiblity</p>

<p>inb4 piracy is wrong.</p>
<p>@Rhythm: everyone does steal from the dining halls (I have friends who live in houses whose entire silverware collection is made of dining hall stuff), but its a pain when its 1am, you want ramen, and you don’t have a fork or cup to heat up the water. </p>
<p>@Pacers: Best way to pregame is while playing Mario Kart 64. Also the extra monitor is a godsend, I did that and I’m so glad I did.</p>
<p>i remember the good old days of markey. i’d make a pizza and take it to my room, put in the fridge, then microwave it later.</p>
<p>How big are the Doubles in bursley?</p>
