<p>I was assigned to a second-floor, regular single room in Hill House. The website says that my room will have a desk with chair, bed frame and matress, and a dresser. But do I get a closet? I know it's still early, but I don't want to have to drag over a portable closet from home.</p>
<p>I believe that each room comes with either a closet or a free standing wardrobe for hanging.</p>
<p>It’s its own closet.</p>
<p>But in all seriousness I think it does.</p>
<p>Yes it comes with a closet. The closet is about 3 feet wide and runs floor to ceiling. Since my roommate and I both had a decent amount of hanging clothing, we got a little $10 attachment off of eBay that added a second clothing bar… super worthwhile.</p>
<p>The closets actually hold a shocking amount of stuff, and you WILL learn how to effectively manage limited spaces by living in Hill!</p>
<p>So, on this same note I know for a fact that my room does not have a closet. How do I deal with that?</p>
<p>Thanks guys 
But just to be sure, you say that ALL rooms in Hill have closets? (I’ll be on the second floor, single)</p>
<p>@bimbop How do you know for sure that your room doesn’t have a closet?</p>
<p>Closets are part of the floor plan. I can see on the map that I don’t have any.</p>
<p>There aren’t any closets in any of the Hill floor plans, but I know they exist. Try contacting someone that lives where you do.</p>
<p>hmmm, cause on my floor plan there are definitely closets in every single other room.</p>
<p>If I were you, I would trust the people who lived there more than I trust myself looking at floor plans. Hill rooms have closets. Period. They’re crappy enough that they better have SOME kind of amenity</p>
<p>While we’re on the topic, exactly how bad are the rooms in Hill. I’m in a single on the second floor. The dimensions are 10’10" by 9’2", which seems to be enough for one person.</p>
<p>Singles are the same size as doubles if I remember correctly, and yes, they are certainly big enough for one person. Actually they renovated the place in 2008 (obviously, the year AFTER I lived in it) and upgraded a lot of the building such that things work. From what I hear, the facility isn’t THAT bad anymore. … it used to be God awful.</p>
<p>When I visited Hill at the preview days, i remember the ceiling being really low(I’m not especially tall) and I felt like there was no air flow in the building and since it had no a/c I imagined it would be unbearable in the summer(so bring a gigantic fan!). The only positive to Hill is that the crampness fosters community and it has its own dining hall which is really convenient.</p>
<p>It’s really not that bad. My freshman year had some HOT days, but because the building is so large and open in the middle, a lot of the heat rises to the top of the atrium; it isn’t too hard to get some good ventilation as long as you leave your door open and have two fans.</p>
