<p>Hey I was assigned to Rubelmann, and I was wondering if this Student Life article about WashU's traditional dorm situation is accurate. I'm especially interested in the part about the Tempur-Pedic mattresses.</p>
<p>"For the past decade, the University has demolished traditional housing, which features communal bathrooms on each floor, in favor of modern suite-style housing, in which all individual suites have private bathroom facilities. In addition, all remaining traditional dorms and modern dorms that opened this fall have been provided with TempurPedic mattresses."

<p>Anyone have any experience regarding Rubelmann?</p>
<p>1) It’s generally shortened and just called Ruby (also on a random note, Koenig is pronounced K-nig)</p>
<p>2) Had they had temperpedic mattresses when I was a freshmen, I would have put traditional as my first choice. That being said, I loved my modern dorm.</p>
<p>3) Very few people dislike their dorms. I’m sure you’ll grow a fierce loyalty to Ruby.</p>

<p>I wasn’t aware that modern dorms would also have these tempurpedic mattresses. Can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>^^ My son had also heard that the modern dorms would all be outfitted with Tempurpedic mattresses this year. We would also like to know if that’s true.</p>
<p>My best guess would be that its the same as what happened last year…only the dorms that had just opened got Tempurpedic. I doubt they’re replacing all mattresses in all dorms.</p>
<p>Yes, marc is right.</p>
<p>It’s not that moderns are getting new mattresses. ie Koenig will still have the old ones.</p>
<p>It’s the new dorms that are opening up that will have them- ie Eliot B (and New Wohl, aka SoFoHo, has them as well; that opened last year).</p>
