<p>I read somewhere that in each person gets a bed, desk, dresser (drawers?) and maybe a wardrobe or closet. How true is this?</p>
<p>Also you need a table lamp for the desk. But how about a bedside lamp for people who studies in bed??? Are there bedside tables?</p>

<p>My D brought three lamps (and was glad she did!) A desk lamp. a bedside table lamp (bring something to use for a table too) and a floor lamp.</p>
<p>Thanks for input 1ofeach. I was thinking that the room may only have 1 overhead lamp/light hence dark. So a table lamp for the desk and a lamp for the bedside to read on the bed. Btw it is for DS.</p>
<p>1ofeach, do you know if the beds are mattresses on boxsprings or are they just mattress on wooden frames. Reason: need to buy zip up allergy covers for both if there are both.</p>
<p>The mattress rests on a wire/spring platform. You just need to buy one cover. Your son is in for a fun year!!!! My D is counting the days till she goes back.</p>
<p>Each room has one overhead light. It works, but it's kind of institutional-looking and can get grating after awhile. Bring a desk lamp to make it feel more homey. I got by without a bedside lamp -- it's not really a good idea to study in bed.</p>

<p>that was too easy</p>
<p>obviously, this is more one of personal preference. Son had a desk lamp and said he rarely used it.</p>
