<p>Does anyone know if there are shelves for books in the honors dorm? I don't remember seeing one on the tour, but is shows shelves in the diagram. Thanks.</p>
<p>I don’t know which diagram you saw, but there are no shelves listed in the “furniture provided” section of this brochure. I wish I had taken pictures when we were there!</p>

I also wish that I took pictures.</p>
<p>We toured the honors dorms twice - there were no bookshelves as far as I remember. There is a desk, a small cabinet with a drawer and a door - the door part locks, so bring a lock (there may be a shelf in there). Sometimes the pictures show this cabinet next to the desk. There is also a wardrobe/closet and a desk chair. Other than the bed, that was the extent of the furniture. Fortunately, there seems to be a extra room under the bed loft or at the end of the loft and under the window between the beds. In one of the rooms we toured, someone had a rolling cart of drawers under their loft. You could probably get one of those fold-up bookshelves to bring.</p>
<p>There is a virtual tour of the rooms on that link provided above - select panorama. You can see where someone brought both drawers and a shelf.</p>
<p>I was in the Honors dorm after it was emptied and cleaned in May.there were no attached bookshelves, but there seemed to be plenty of space to add a unit of some kind(shelves,rolling drawers,small entertainment unit). Target sells a wooden folding bookshelf and I’m sure Wal Mart does also. Older D bought hers when she was a freshman in 2001 and still uses it today, the quality was very good!</p>
<p>Are Honors students offered Honors dorms for just the freshman year or for all years?</p>
<p>To answer my own question, now that my son is all moved in…there is a bookshelf built into the desk underneath the opening for the chair. You have to look underneath to see it. We kept the shelf that we bought anyway, since it came in handy for other things.</p>
<p>They are offered it for all years, but it is mostly freshmen and some sophomores.</p>
<p>the new Honors Dorm is offered for freshman and sophomores.For Honors upperclassmen…in prior years this included sophs…, there is apartment style housing offered on the historic “Horseshoe” area of the campus.If an Honors student desires to remaiin in on campus housing for all 4 years ,I believe they are given preference.</p>
