How triples at BC work

<p>So basically I’m taking the triple at Upper campus because my schedule is pretty packed in the mornings (everyday 8:30 or 9) and I don’t want to wake up high school style at 7 to get ready (so no newton :()</p>

<p>If anyone has experienced a triple dorm, can you tell me how it is? Is it really unbearable? Are triples all on the same floor of the same building? I heard it was one single bed and one bunk bed and 2 closets. I also heard that triples are actually 3 people in a double…are there enough desks for us?</p>

<p>I’m going to go to school early for marching band (aug 24th) so since I get the dorm first (for a whole week too!) would it be “okay” or “reasonable” for me to take the single bed/closet?
How would you work something like this out? (i’m a guy btw so we probably don’t need as much closet space as girls do, but still!)</p>

<p>Thanks.!</p>

<p>Forced triples are not the end of the world. Forced Triples are basically 1 lofted bed with a desk underneath it, then 2 bunked beds and 2 desks across the room. There is a dresser for each person. The only thing that is a big problem (specifically for girls) is that there are only 2 closets, so you have less closet space. However, usually the person that gets less closet space gets the space under the bed to even things out. </p>

<p>You should definitely discuss everything with your roommates prior to your move-in on August 24th. If you take the single bed and an entire closet to yourself without discussing this with them then there might be problems. Personally, I would recommend taking the bunked bed on the bottom because being high in the loft or on the higher bunk bed gets old after a while. Also, if your forced triple isn’t already set up like this, I would recommend you set it up in the L-shape because I think it gives you more room. Not all forced triples are the same, and some are bigger than others so pray you get a decent sized one.</p>

<p>There’s forced triples and then natural triples.
LL covered forced triples, but I’ll fill you in about naturals…</p>

<p>I had one this past year and it was great. We each had our own closet space and a desk. There was a bathroom for all of us to share. I think we had a bunk originally but it was dismantled by the time I moved in.</p>

<p>If you’re actually in a natural triple, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. It’s a sweet gig.</p>
