Q's about Rodney Dorms

<p>Any students here that lived in Rodney? I have some specific questions about the dorm layouts.</p>

<p>Thx, Dan D</p>

<p>Dan, I don't know if this is enough information for you, or if you have seen it, but here is a link to the floor plans for Rodney.</p>

<p>MMM, have that, thanks. Was really looking for info like - do the wardrobes have provision for a lock? Or handles that you could lock together? My son has a guitar and wants to be able to secure it. He has kind of a strange room - one that has a separate 'study area' and 'sleeping area'. We're wondering if the separation walls are full-height.... Can the beds be 'bunked' in any room? What are the room's walls made of, cinderblock? Etc.</p>

<p>We never bisited West Campus, so we have these types of questions.....</p>

<p>I can't answer to the locks, but my son had a room that was in two parts last year, too. He and his roommate set up their desks under their lofted beds, and then set up a sitting area with 2 chairs, a TV, and floor lamp. It was a really nice arrangement.</p>

<p>As far as I know, all beds on campus can be bunked. When they aren't bunked, they can be raised I believe to around 20ish inches off the floor.</p>

<p>Sorry, I dont know about the other questions though!</p>

<p>Guess I can answer my own questions now, so I'll do so for posterity!</p>

<p>1) The wardrobes do indeed have handles that extend out, so you could use a cable lock (like for a bike) to secure them.
2) The beds can be bunked.
3) The walls are cinderblock and the ceiling is concrete or cement!
4) The floors are tiled.</p>

<p>The only problem with his room is that the Internet ports are on the wall OPPOSITE from where the desks are! He has a 25' Ethernet cable which reaches but runs down the middle of the room. I sent him a 50' cord and a roll of duct tape so he can run it around the wall or across the ceiling!</p>

<p>The electrical outlets are kind of in oddball places (like above the mirror above one of the dressers!). There is really only one place to put the fridge/microwave, behind the door.</p>

<p>These comments are for an end-of-the-hallway double in Rodney A.</p>
