<p>Yep, you can have the desk shelf taken away. The front desk will take it for you, I believe, along with whatever else you want to be taken away. :) </p>
<p>You cannot have a loft bed in a single, though, or have bed raisers.</p>
<p>When you say the front desk will take anything away, does this include the uncomfortable wooden desk chairs?</p>
<p>Yep. They'll take those, too. :) Or you could opt for a chair cushion instead of buying a chair.</p>
<p>gummiebear, you say that we aren't allowed bed risers... but I had them on my bed the past two years and my RAs from both years saw 'em and didn't say anything. </p>
<p>anyway, out of curiosity, why would you not want your shelfs?</p>
<p>are there dressers in a triple? can they fit in there? and where exactly can you fit a tv? and what is a reasonable size for a tv? haha, wow lots of questions.</p>
<p>are waste baskets provided in the dorms?</p>
<p>Indeed they are.</p>
<p>so in response to ckings' question i want to ditch the shelves because i'd rather have the extra space for a monitor, and i don't really have anything i'd put on them anyways.</p>
<p>to the couple (or one, maybe) of you who mentioned that you had lofted beds, if one was to hypothetically do that, what materials would be necessary? i don't really know how any of the beds work there</p>
<p>The shelf doesn't take up that much desk space.</p>
<p>Reasonable size TV? Maybe 20" or so?</p>
