<p>What size is the window in Cumberland floor 7. Need curtains !!!!</p>
<p>Just curious why you need curtains on the 7th floor?</p>
<p>I would suggest buying a spring tension rod for the curtains. I would assume that they are no wider than 30-36 inches so the traditional panel size should fit.</p>
<p>Agreeing with pima…probably around 30". D and her roommate added a tension rod and curtains and felt like it made it much more “homey” without much cost outlay. There are blinds for privacy, so you don’t need the curtains for that. Good luck. Be significantly happy that you have a/c!!!</p>
<p>Moving kids into dorms these days makes me laugh…some of their rooms are nicer than the avg home with all of the special touches. What’s even funnier is that as pretty as it looks when we leave them on move in day, by the next day it looks like their room back home before they left. Only difference is, their room back home is now prettier because they are gone! Same mess…different location!</p>
<p>Back in my day (late 80’s), we could fit everything in the back of a honda accord. Now, you need to own a suburban and a roof carrier! Again, back in my day we walked 7 miles to school uphill both ways wearing one shoe in the snow! 
;)</p>
<p>Wait, pima…once they leave your house, their mess goes with them??? It didn’t quite work that way at our house… :D</p>
<p>When we moved my DD to college her freshman year, one of the moms I met had brought a minivan and a truck full of stuff for her daughter who was moving into a quad. They had kitchens and the D didn’t cook so grandma had made a whole semester’s worth of seal-a-meals. I thought, oh nice…the other three roommates won’t get any space in the freezer unless they take that stuff back home with them…lol.</p>
<p>hahaha, unless she shared grandma’s seal-a-meals with the rest of them!!! That’s too funny! D2 is trying to figure out how 7 people in her 3 bedroom apt are going to share one refrigerator! Hopefully none of her roommates show up with the semester’s meals in tow!</p>
<p>I’ve never shared a full size refrigerator with fewer than 7 people. It’s completely doable as long as no one does something like that.</p>
<p>I agree, it is completely doable, especially if they are all guys because the refrigerator door is constantly open because they never stop eating.</p>
<p>One thing I would suggest for the apt situation, from a voice of experience, assign one person to bring one category for the kitchen. I.E. you send the pots/pans and somebody else brings the dishes. When DS unloaded his stuff last yr after moving out from New Leonardtown, he brought home crap that didn’t even belong to us, and I mean everything from pots and pans to silverware. The funny thing was, I knew the stuff would be communal so I sent him with color coordinated crap…silverware had blue handles, he brought back some blue and some silver. Dishes and cups were the hard plastic in blue, he brought home ceramic dishes and hard green plastic cups! Frightening on so many levels…one that he was able to forget I sent him with all blue, …two, that he didn’t have the common sense to call me before and ask “Hey, Mom…”…three how is it he can remember every Xbox and video he took, but not that stuff!</p>
<p>This yr., we are now doing the everyone brings a category, so when they move out next spring, it will be okay, that is my stuff. Of course now he is in a TH off campus, so it will probably not happen because he intends to live there for 2 yrs and by then nobody will remember who brought what, AND I am not sure I would want to see any of it after it has been used by college guys for 2 yrs. :eek:</p>
<p>Hey…a word to the wise who are moving this weekend. I was stressing about the distance between the drop-off area and DS’s dorm. Went online to see if I could find a place that rents flatbed carts (like the kind they have at Sam’s Club). Turns out Ace Hardware has one that is on sale for $25! It will carry up to 300 lbs and has a fold-down handle. You can’t buy it online, it refers you to your local Ace store…mine had 5 in stock and said they are very popular with teachers and students moving into dorms. I am inordinately excited that I got one, lol! :D</p>
