Size Does Matter (...for rooms)

<p>:)
Is 209 square feet a decent size for a double? Just saw the floorplans for my Southgate floor...</p>

<p>Anyway, share your room size if you know it!</p>

2

<p>It’s not too bad.</p>

3

<p>If I remember correctly I had a pretty big single that was around 140 and a HUGE double around 320. 209 is probably not what I would classify as huge, but it’s a decent size in terms of typical dorm rooms.</p>

<p>209 isn’t that bad actually, my double in Edens on west sophomore year was around 170 I believe.</p>

5

<p>209 is really generous for a dorm at duke. Most doubles are around 170-180 sqft.</p>

<p>where did you find floor plans? i’ve been searching for the floor plans to alspaugh for a while now but can’t find them!</p>

7

<p>Yeah, I would also really like to know where you guys found floor plans. Could anyone please post the floor plans for Gilbert-Addoms? Could anyone give a rough estimate of the average size of a single in East Campus, what about a single in Gilbert-Addoms?</p>

<p>^ Another guy from the facebook group for Southgate found them for me lol. He posted them to the group :D</p>

<p>I think RLHS takes those down after roompix is over. I couldn’t find them when I was looking this summer but they were definitely up earlier this spring.</p>

<p>Edit: nvm, it looks like RLHS posts floorplans for west/central campuses. I guess I wasn’t looking hard enough :-/</p>

<p>but if you go to their website, you can see pictures of dorms on east</p>

<p>^ You Sir, deserve 1000 internets.</p>

12

<p>Thanks a ton!</p>

13

<p>OK - so where do you find the floor plans for Few? My D would like to see her floor plan and does not know where to find it! Thanks!</p>

<p>hmmm
maybe you’d have to vpn.</p>

<p>Well here’s how you get there.</p>

<p>From the rlhs website: rlhs.studentaffairs.duke.edu click on room picks 2009 on the left hand side, the floorplans are on the right side of that page after login.</p>

<p>D was finally able to access the plans for floors 2 through 5. Boy, some of those floor plans don’t even look like they can fit the 6 foot bed frames and then some doubles have walk in closets about 3/4 the size of some of the singles.</p>

18

<p>Yes, due to the weird geometry of some of the west campus quads, wackiness can result.</p>

<p>For anyone in Pegram, this link is a PDF of the floorplan:</p>

<p>You can see how the rooms are various sizes and plans, I think Jarvis, Brown, Alspaugh, etc. are similar. Personally, I’ve got a relatively small room (~170 square feet) very near to the common room. There’s gonna be so many distractions…</p>

<p>For the frosh;</p>

<p>Randolph and Blackwell = smallest on campus, smaller than than NC prison cell, so they say
GA and Southgate = huge (in comparison)
Other east dorms = about the same size basically, finding out the sq ft won’t change a thing. I think there are some suites in Wilson.</p>
