<p>does anyone know if the triple dorms in landis are spacious or crowded? are there sinks inside the room? how many? are there bunk beds? where is bed c? how many closets are there? do we share a bathroom with another room? thanks in advance.</p>
<p>[The</a> Florida State University - University Housing](<a href=“http://housing.fsu.edu/housing/ungrad/lanfloor.html]The”>http://housing.fsu.edu/housing/ungrad/lanfloor.html) It shows what the typical floorplan looks like. Of course it isn’t to scale, but you can kind of get an idea of the layout.</p>
<p>Some triples are larger than others, I’ve seen spacious ones, and crowded ones, but some of the walls have weird protrusions so the beds don’t always fit perfectly in most rooms, even doubles. Landis was once a community style hall, and when it was renovated, they had to fit rooms in, therefore the shapes and sizes are varied.
There is one sink in each room. Triples will have two refrigerators in each room though.
You might be able to bunk two of the beds, but you will need to get hardware from the office there if it’s even possible.
There are no assigned beds, the letters (ABC) are only used for assigning the appropriate number of students to each room.
Usually there is a closet per bed, but if there isn’t, it means they made a triple out of what should be a double.
Some triples share a bathroom with a single or double, but some have their own private bathroom.
What room were you assigned? I may be able to give you more specific information.</p>
<p>Hi Nolette! Our student just got assigned to a triple at Landis. #321. Any input on the size of the room? We’re hoping to be able to get more details at orientation, but would like to start planning on her organizational needs now.</p>
<p>Sorry, I can’t remember that room specifically. You might be able to see the room at orientation, it just depends on when you are going and if it’s occupied at the time, and if you get the right person to help you;)
Do you know if the room has a private bath? You can figure that out by how much money is due (don’t forget to figure in the $225 deposit you have already paid) and comparing it to the cost of a triple with bath as opposed to a triple as listed on the housing page. If there is another room (either 319 or 323) sharing the bathroom, you won’t know those names, so you won’t be able to coordinate who is bringing the shower curtain or other items for the bathroom.
Feel free to ask more questions!</p>
<p>Hey Nolette, i got assigned to a triple in Landis hall on the first floor. do you know any specifics about the first floor triples?</p>
<p>Sorry, there are only a few triple rooms I remember. Most were spacious (some were huge!), but there are a few that in my opinion that were crowded, and were just a bit larger than doubles. Some doubles are larger than others as well. It must have been hard to reconfigure the rooms and make them equal when Landis was renovated. Coordinate who is bringing what, you will only need 1 microwave, and there’s only one TV cable outlet.
You will love living there, just go in with an open mind and make the most of it.
Hopefully you and your roommates will have a similar schedule, so you won’t have to change your habits too much.
I recommend a sleep mask (and maybe earplugs) if you are a light sleeper.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any insight on basement rooms in Landis? Are there windows? Can you get a cell signal. Does being close to the TV room and common areas mean more noise?</p>
<p>The basement is really ground level, since the first floor is actually up a few steps. </p>
<p>There are windows, don’t worry, it’s not like you will be in a damp, dark place. </p>
<p>There are side entrances to the building which are more street level, as well as the one that faces the road and the one that faces the green which are both elevated. When you get there you will see what I mean.</p>
<p>I’m on the fifth floor… is that the top floor? I’m praying there’s an elevator and a good view :)</p>
<p>Tosney- yes, the fifth floor is considered the “penthouse”. Lol, my daughter had a single on the fifth floor and liked it. There is an elevator. :-)</p>
<p>Haha, sounds sophisticated. Thanks for the info. :)</p>
<p>I am moving in for the first time in the fall. I have a single on the fifth floor of landis. How big was the room? What would you suggest bringing in terms of storage/security?</p>
<p>I guess you are asking Janna about her daughter’s old room. </p>
<p>In general, the rooms in Landis are varied sizes. Some are small, and some are large. </p>
<p>I’m not sure what you mean as far as storage/security. You will get a dresser, desk and a closet for storage. You should bring plastic drawers if you need more storage. </p>
<p>If you don’t have a single with bath, then your suitemates will be able to enter your room through the bathroom. If you feel uncomfortable, then you can bring something that locks up your valuables.</p>
<p>The room in Landis was big enough for your desk, which was positioned in front of a window, a vanity built into the wall across from the bed, we pushed the fridge and microwave under the bed to make more room. Small closet and three drawer dresser. We bought her a new TV that went on top of the dresser. With that setup she had to take about max 8 steps from one end of the room to the door leading into the hallway. There is no lock on the door to the shower/toilet from inside your room. There is obviously a lock inside the bathroom so it’s good advice to bring something to lock up your valuables. And more than once my daughter got locked out of the bathroom by her suite mate for extended periods of time. So she would have to go downstairs and ask someone to come up and let her in her bathroom. Lol.</p>
<p>Janna, I’m guessing your daughter was paired with a triple? My daughter will be in a triple on the fifth floor, and I have a feeling it will be relatively small. Do you know by any chance? Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m going to be on the 5th floor and wanted to know if there will be wifi and if so is it slow or fairly decent? Also do you have to buy bed raisers or can the height of the beds be adjusted?</p>
<p>Landis has WiFi throughout the building, although just like has been said around here about the many other dorms on campus with WiFi, you will want to bring an ethernet cable for when the WiFi goes down. And yes, the WiFi on campus goes down. </p>
<p>Its speed is heavily dependent on how many people are using it, how they are using it (just being on Facebook vs Netflix or something like Xbox Live). The general speed of the WiFi on campus when it is working correctly is in the neighborhood of 12 Mbps, although there are times where it will be much faster (upwards of 20-25 Mbps) and times when it will be much slower (2-3 Mbps). It just depends on how congested it is (and how far away from the router you are). And if you are worried about the speed, wired internet is significantly faster anyway (40+ Mbps regularly, sometimes up to 100 Mbps).</p>
<p>The height of the beds can be adjusted. You aren’t allowed (technically) to buy anything to raise the beds above what they can be adjusted to, either.</p>
<p>My daughter was paired with another single. So just two girls in separate dorm rooms with a shared bathroom between.</p>
