<p>I went to Highlander Day, but I missed the housing tour cuz I keep getting lost. :/
I really wanted to see all the dorms before I made my choice..but unfortunately I couldn't. My first dorm choice is East Lothian. I think I might get East Lo. Hopefully! I heard east lo is great :)
So my question is that should I go to ucr and see the dorms before I move in? It's kinda hard to buy like organizers/bookcases/etc since, I don't know if it will fit in the dorm or not. I don't know how big it is.</p>
<p>Move in. See the room. Go to Target/Walmart/BBB.</p>
<p>Keep everything you buy small. There isn’t a lot of room. </p>

<p>There are the dimensions… if you want to imagine what size it is.</p>
<p>By the way, I just saw that move in date is 9/20-9/21… Do we get notified which day we move in… or can we go on the 20th? O_O</p>
<p>it depends some ppl get the 20 some get 21</p>
<p>well the desks have like a shelf on top so u kinda have a bookcase already</p>
<p>I slept in a triple East Lo during Honors and there wasnt much room. There was a desk and a top shelf, a chair, fridge and microwave. East person gets their own closet. There wasnt much room for extra furniture or other stuff.</p>
<p>Well, maybe cuz you had a triple. I’m doing double so I think there is more room no?</p>
<p>I heard the 19th was also a viable date…</p>
<p>I checked out double East Lo as well. If felt like the double was more crowded. Triple had more room. The room size was about almost imo</p>
<p>I’m wondering how much of a move I should make. Most people don’t bring all of their stuff do they?</p>
<p>No, they don’t. =) I’m leaving my winter clothes at home until it actually gets cold… There’s actually a lot of stuff I’m leaving behind. lol</p>
<p>yea there isnt that much room in the first place. The closet they have at the dorm is smaller than half of my closet</p>
<p>I just look at the layout for Pentland dorms, and it looks like the dorms have more space than the other resident halls. Since the bed, dresser and the desk is a connected. Does it have more space?</p>
<p>no e lo has more. p hills seemed small and werent connected</p>
<p>You can put the dresser under the bed if you want. Saves space! =) I’m gonna do that at East Lo. That makes the bed EXTRA tall though. I need a stool to help me up. LOL. zzz :|</p>
<p>Low beds are cooler</p>
<p>easier to reach stuff wherever it is</p>
<p>ur that short ?</p>
<p>Well, I remember at pentland the dresser, bed, and desk took up a whole wall. The dresser covered half of the closet. I was like wt F. 
I think you can rearrange it however you want. I will have to look and see. :o</p>
<p>5’2-5’3? I remember I had a triple for orientation, I had to go on part of the stairs and then climb onto the bed that had a dresser underneath it. But my memory is a bit fuzzy idk D:</p>
<p>The adventure of going into your dresser sounds like a ton of fun!</p>
<p>man I wanted to bust out laughing right now</p>
