<p>S received his dorm assignment - Ikenberry Hall. I'd appreciate comments and info about it:
- Room description talks about 6-person suites and quads. Since he only recieved information about 1 roomate, I'm assuming he's in a suite. Is there a way to find out who the other 4 guys will be so they can coordinate bringing stuff for the suite common space?
- Ceiling height is 7'11", so I think lofting the bed is feasible if he wants it, albeit cramped. Lifting a few feet is also an option. Comments/advice on that? We have a week or so to decide if we're building a loft, assembling a kit/reconditioned unit, or renting.<br>
- How are the rooms set for power? Will he be living his life out of a single outlet and surge protector strip?
- Does the desk have rails for hanging folders?
- Storage - I'm leaning towards using nestable rubber maid bins to move his stuff in. Empties can go under the bed or back home for the year.</p>

<p>Since we're coming back for Family weekend in October, it's not like we have to bring EVERYTHING in one trip. </p>

<p>Other suggestions are appreciated.</p>

<p>jmu doesnt provide info. on suitemates, but if he has a facebook like almost eeryone else, he can probably find them. my room(not in the village though) had 3 outlets last year, so it should at least have 2. surge protectors are probably a must though. the esks don't have rails, just 3 drawers. and i'e found the under-the-bed plastic storage containers to be very very useful!</p>
