<p>Pizzagirl, in some dorms (my son’s included) you can loft your bed, creating an area underneath for a chair, large floor pillows, a TV, your microwave/mini fridge, etc. </p>
<p>I also was amazed by how much stuff kids brought, but I disagree that it’s more than their parents hauled to college. </p>
<p>We had GIANT speakers, a turn table, a receiver, TONS of records (remember them??) big typewriters oh and these weird things called BOOKS. Some people had TONS of those too.</p>
