dormitory, tripling.

<p>Ok, so after taking a look at the virtual tour of corridor style rooms....i see only 2 desks, and 2 beds and by those alone the room is full. </p>

<p>how the heck are 3 people supposed to be in that room?? i understand that the bunk beds can fit, but what about the desks?? there is no room for a 3rd desk. I dont think it makes sense for one of the 3 students to be deprived of the privilege of a desk.</p>

<p>What kind of tour did you take? do you have a link with room photos?</p>

<p>theres pictures of corridor style, and suite style rooms.</p>

<p>During orientation, they said that if someone is deprived of a desk, he may be entitled to a personal closet and a single bed. That is supposed to make us feel better.</p>

<p>wow....no desk. so *** are we supposed to do?? study in the damn closet? oh gee i feel so much better now.</p>

<p>Ok during the tour, I saw a study hall room in the dorm. I think it is a quiet room so everyone can study. Then again you really won't study in your dorm b/c its too crowded and probably lots of distractions.</p>

<p>Yeah, but still...I do think that I would prefer having a personal bed(rather than a bunk?) and a closet in exchange for the desk, though. With 3 people in the room, I prettu much foubt you will be able to concentrate anyway. The desks in the study lounge are private and give you ample space, and you can use the computer on your bed.</p>

<p>Any word on the assignments yet?</p>

<p>Most ppl have them. I had my orientation pretty late, July 19 (before the last day) so no word yet. I mean they say they will give us the info in start of August. It is already middle of August. And I want to know who my roommates are so we can decide who brings what.</p>

<p>Just be lucky you didn't get forked over with housing all-together. Although, I do have my own private room now.</p>
