<p>Does anyone know the dimensions of the WashU dorms-- specifically doubles in Dardick?</p>
<p>I can't find them anywhere on the ResLife website.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If you haven’t seen this it might help:

<p>Don’t know if the actual dimensions are listed, since they’re so varied. There should be pictures of dorms on the facebook '14 group though.
Either way, they’re much larger than any of my friends dorms (at other schools).</p>
<p>Why do you want to know the specific dimensions? Is there anything particular you want to bring?</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ve already checked out the floorplans, which were pretty helpful. </p>
<p>I was just wondering the dimensions so I could plan my decorations and such, but I probably won’t be bringing any furniture or anything big so it won’t be an issue.</p>
<p>WashU Res Life use to have a room dimension page, but for some reason they took it down. I do have a copy of it and it says:</p>
<p>Dardick - double is 10.5’ X 17’ (single is 10.5’ X 14’ and triple “varies”)</p>
<p>MidwestParent- if you don’t mind, could you look up Koenig triples (if its listed)?</p>
<p>MidwestParent, can you look up Beaumont triple? I’m hardly going to do any decorating, but I am curious. Thanks!</p>
<p>park double?
interior and exterior?</p>
<p>^ I dunno the exact dimensions but I stayed in one during the artsci weekend and it was easily the biggest dorm room I’ve ever been in (and I’ve seen dozens). Really spacey, huge windows, and nice closets with mirrored sliding doors 
I really wanted to be in park :)</p>
<p>^
I was also in the ArtSci weekend (June 24-26?) and was very impressed with the size and features of Park dorm. However, I probably wouldn’t want to be in Park because the rooms did seem a bit isolated (two doors separate the room from the hallway). This is just my opinion, though.</p>
<p>Thats true, actually, didn’t really think about it. Although it is very soundproof if you want to get a good rest :)</p>
<p>This link has lee/Beaumont dimensions: [WU</a> Residential Life - FAQ Cauldron](<a href=“Residential Life - Students”>Residential Life - Students)</p>
<p>Hummm…Are Lee and Beaumont residential colleges? Are they separate from other dorms? </p>
<p>It’s nice to know the rooms are carpeted. I’m still haunted by what my oldest kid lived in: his dorm was not carpeted, and the room looked so un-homey and harsh. No wonder why he had a terrible experience!</p>
<p>Lee/Beau makes up one rescollege. Two separate dorms.</p>
<p>Also, the traditional dorms are NOT carpeted (that includes freshman traditionals and traditional sophomore suites)</p>
<p>Traditional Freshman Halls

Double 12’ X 13’</p>
<p>Lopata and Village Houses

<p>**Note: Each room varies, but these are approximate dimensions</p>
<p>Maybe they took this off the site because it doesn’t have dorms such as Park and the brand new dorms listed. There were some dorms on the list that are no longer there - I tried to remember which ones are gone and delete those names.
Hope this helps some of you! My D will be a senior - she has lived in Danforth, Shepley, Gregg (summer), and the Village. Loved them all for different reasons!</p>
<p>^Why is Park missing?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The room dimensions I posted are from a page you use to be able to access from the WashU Residential Life home page. The link no longer works and I suspect it is because it was never updated to add newer dorms and remove older dorms that have been demolished.</p>
<p>You could call Res Life and I am sure they would give you the dimensions for dorms that are not on the list I have.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for all the info MidwestParent!</p>
<p>Midwest and others, I’m really confused and could use your help. Is Beaumont a traditional dorm or a modern one? *Traditional Freshman Halls (Lee, Beaumont, * Also, what is a residential college?</p>
<p>I ask this because I just assumed my son got a modern. He really wanted a modern and when he was prioritizing his list, he listed his choices in this order: double, triple, single in the modern. THEN double and then triple in a traditional dorm. Am I to assume from your list on the previous page that Beaumont is a traditional? And he got a triple? Then that means he got his very last preference?!! Erg! Is Beaumont even near all the other dorms? My son at Northwestern ended up in a dorm that was as far away “from the action” as you could get. That home-body was quite unhappy for a long time, because he felt like an outcast. Will Beaumont be like that at WashU?</p>
<p>And what are residential colleges? I know how the residential colleges at Yale works. But, in that case, everyone is in a residential college. What does that mean at WashU?</p>
<p>Thanks, midwest.</p>
<p>limabeans- Beau is a traditional.</p>
<p>It’s practically smack in the middle of the 40. But even the furthest dorms on the 40 are still “close enough to the action” because of the way the dorms are laid out.</p>
<p>A rescollege is a system of dorms, often a freshmen and sophomore dorm coupled (ie Brookings is Lien/Gregg) or 2 freshmen dorms, in the case of Lee/Beau.</p>
