Small Double and Bed Loft

[bbeale2011]

<p>I have a small double room. How big/small are these rooms? and how tight for space are they? and I want to order a wood bed loft. What is the best place to order this from?</p>

<p>I’m in the exact same boat as you bbeale. I’m going to email them later on – I’ll let you know their response.</p>

<p>I got a response and they said that its bunk bed and the furniture is not moveable. So we would have to keep that bunk bed.</p>

<p>Apologies on my fairly late follow-up, but I wanted to post some info on a paraphrased version of the correspondence that took place between myself and one of the Pollock Housing Admins. I’m going to be in Porter Hall by the way:</p>

<p>

Admin:
Your small double in Porter Hall is approximately 14’3” x 8’1”. There is already a set of bunk beds in the room and also 2 dressers, 2 desks, 2 desk chairs and a closet.

Myself:
Thank you for the investigation. My room assignment is 120 Porter Hall, if that makes a difference. This discussion also partly stemmed out of a college confidential forum posting: </p>

<p>A link attached produced a picture of the following room in south halls:</p>

<p>^^ This would be the ideal model.

Admin:
Unfortunately the rooms in Pollock are a different configuration than South, in South the rooms are long and narrow which is why the lofts are able to be placed end to end but the rooms in Pollock are more square and this would not be possible. I am working to find an answer if this room will accommodate 2 lofts, all of the furniture is not movable so it does present some challenges in placement.

Admin:
We will have the capability of lofting the beds in your room if you would like but want to wait until you arrive and actually see the room to decide if this is what you would like to do. Please give the Housing office a call after move in weekend and we will set up an appointment to have someone come and discuss what is possible in this space. As far as I know there are no websites for exchange of goods at Penn State.

</p>

<p>Hope this helps furture students in the same sitution. I’m locked-in on those lofts myself :D</p>

<p>The only problem with this the desk is built in. The main advantage of lofting your bed it to stick the desk underneath so you get free up space (i.e. of a couch or futon).</p>

<p>Thank a look:</p>

<p>You may be able to loft the middle bed, and put a couch under it though…</p>
