What are UM dorms like?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Miami - Florida

<p>How about the sophomore dorms? How do those compare? I’ve seen pictures of university village - those look very nice.</p>

<p>The UV is for people who have > 60 credit hours. It is really nice, but it’s also quite expensive, relative to the other dorms.</p>

<p>Some time over the next few days I’ll try to drop by a friend’s room in Mahoney & Pearson (for Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors who don’t want to live in the UV) and take some pictures to post.</p>

<p>@ranknir - ohhhhh! I thought the rectangles at the bottom of the diagram were the beds! With the blankets ‘turned down’!!!</p>

<p>what do the diagonal lines represent?</p>

<p>So the rectangle with the chair is the desk, then the small rectangle is a dresser, and the narrow rectangles at the top of the diagram are the beds.</p>

<p>Is that right?</p>

<p>So I think the confusion stems from the fact that there are two holes in the wall which can be interpreted as doors… so I’ve uploaded a picture with the parts labeled to <a href=“http://robrankin.com/roomdia.jpg[/url]”>http://robrankin.com/roomdia.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>@rankinr - you did a good deed today. That was very very good of you, to take the time to help me understand what-is-what.</p>

<p>I thought the door was the window, and the window was the door. The diagram makes a lot more sense to me now. Sorry I was being simple-minded on this; fortunately, I’m not the student.</p>

<p>Make sure you go to post #7 of this thread and click on the “Bad Dorms” link. There you will find in post #23 pictures of my daughter’s room in Stanford. It shows how it looks with a loft and how much nicer it looks once decorated.</p>

<p>The windows are kinda ugly because they have the heavy duty hurricane shutters on them. We were able to make them look tons better with just a small pressure rod and a one panel sheer we got at Target.</p>
