<p>I got an email saying i applied late as a transfer student and all the dorms are filled up so theyre putting me in a temporary converted lounge. It says they assign a group of transfer students to live there until dorms open up, but wth does a lounge even mean? I mean it says there is a door so obviously its a room but how big? Are there separate rooms for each person, is there like a shared bathroom between us or is it one shared with the whole floor it says "shared by an adjacent floor", where is it located, how many roommates, etc. Can anyone give me some general information about it?</p>
<p>Most if not all freshman dorms have a study lounge on the first floor of the building, these lounges are about one and a half times the size of a dorm room. They aren’t meant to be dorms obviously so they have one door and one window you can see through and are right outside the dorm rec area which has a pool table, couch etc. So they’ll cover up the window of the door to give you some privacy but you’ll have what amounts to a three person dorm separated from the other doors on your floor, which you’ll have to walk towards to get to the bathroom. You’ll live in it probably all of first semester until they find a spot to place you and your building won’t have a study lounge because of it.</p>
