<p>Tiny? Unusually large? How many roommates do you have? I'm curious as to what's out there as far as different schools go. (If you don't mind, post the name of your school, too.)</p>
<p>And how do you maintain it? Is it typicially filthy? Spectacularly decorated? </p>
<p>I'm still in high school, so I obviously can't participate, but I'm big on nesting so dorms fascinate me. :p</p>
<p>i am attending uf in the summer and the dorm is the size of your average bathroom, with bathroom tile walls,</p>
<p>dungeon cage/prison cell, and a couple do not have AC…I hope I am not assigned to those (florida…summer)</p>
<p>My sister went to East Carolina University and her room was way bigger than the room we share at home. It was probably 12’ by 17’. I’m really bad at dimensions, you could definitely fit four twin beds across the room and then two more, turned horizontally, along the bottom of the room. The room I saw at GWU on the Mount Vernon campus was very, very small. It was wide enough for three beds but only long enough for about one and a half (to use the size of a twin bed as a standard, since I’m bad at using feet).</p>
<p>When I lived in a dorm, I had a single, I painted the walls and decorated it. It felt a lot more like my bedroom at home than a dorm room. I have (old, blurry) pictures of it, but it would probably result in e-laughter if I showed them because as my friends, so eloquently put it, my room looked like an advertisement for Pepto Bismal.
Dorms came with a heater, a window seat, and didn’t have those cement brick type walls that some rooms have that look like a prison cell.</p>
<p>Considering, it was pretty nice dorm.</p>
<p>I go to Sonoma State. Their dorms are AMAZING.</p>
<p>Our dorm is huge…we lucked out and got the handicap accessible room, so it’s a little bit larger than the regular dorm. We have a living room/dining room/kitchen (they all kinda flow into each other) in the front of the house. Then there’s a long-ish hallway, with a large storage closet on the right-hand side. If you turn left out of the hallway, you get to one of the bedrooms and the bathroom. If you turn right you get to my bedroom and another storage closet. :)</p>
<p>We have it nicely decorated…lots of posters and color on the walls…because it was very dungeon-y when we moved in and we couldn’t take it.</p>
<p>I’m going to UF and the dorms are not that bad. ;)</p>
<p>I’m at SUNY Fredonia and the freshman corridor dorms are HUGE. it’s ridiculous, but believe it or not, my dorm room next year (which is considered the second nicest upperclassman dorm on campus btw) is going to be a bit smaller than this one, and it’s further away from classes (the freshman dorms are smack dab in the middle of everything). everyone complains that the upperclassmen should get the nice dorms, but i guess the school doesn’t want freshmen to transfer out so they give us the nice stuff. ;)</p>
<p>Right now, around 8 x 10</p>
<p>Next year, 9.3 x 16.4 (two people)</p>
<p>I have a single suite with kitchen, cabinets, fridge and bathroom w/ shower. It’s 11x15 according to the website. </p>
<p>I dont feel the need to decorate, so the walls are bare. I’ve never seen the point of posters. The room looks fine how it is (we dont have those prison cell looking walls). </p>
<p>It’s messy, because I dont have roommates, so therefore I can throw clothes wherever.</p>
<p>Overall, it’s pretty nice, and definitely beats having roommates. I go to Temple by the way.</p>
<p>I go to Umass Amherst.</p>
<p>Dorm room’s 11x15, one of the smaller ones on campus. Just my roomie and me. White walls, I have a poster, a calendar, and a few cards up, he’s obsessed with foxes and has a ton of fox pictures up. We have a micro-fridge smack dab in the middle of the room, and a lot of people trip over the cords. But we also have a projector set up on the fridge that we shoot at the back wall and play video games/watch movies on on weekends.
I personally like the room to be clean. My side is generally spotless. His not so much. We’re both aggravated by the amount of cords everywhere, but there’s not much we can do. Tile floor, so it’s cold, but you just have to sweep it to clean it.</p>
<p>Barracks 4th floor, no elevator, 0600 duties, 4-6 people in one room with stabbed-to-death furnitures and doors with no locks. Oh and by the way, we put up our hays before we go to sleep. hays = bed</p>
<p>But it’s livable and I’m not complaining. and you shouldn’t either.</p>
<p>lol barracks… that’s pretty hardcore though. I applied to VA Tech’s Corps of Cadets… didn’t end up attending though :(</p>
<p>My dorm’s pretty awful. I moved in second semester, so my roommate kinda staked a huge claim in most of the room already. It’s got those poured cement block walls, feels very much like a prison cell. Can’t wait for the semester to end so I can move out for good (I go home a lot on the weekends anyway, don’t have to deal with the crap that is this dorm).</p>
<p>Messy…</p>
<p>My dorm’s a former apartment building. 4 guys in a 1 bedroom apartment suite. Not as nice as the studio I shared with 1 roommate the size of my current 1 bedroom, but the location is reasonably good size. Apartment last year was absurdly big for a dorm room. Still better than Chinatown.</p>
<p>My dorm room’s super cute
2 room double with a half bath, huge closet, and coat closet
tons of room, neither of our beds is bunked or lofted, and we have a futon in a cute cover.
kind of iffy carpet but the walls arent those cement blocks- just plain white</p>
<p>The dorm I had freshman year had cinder block walls, but it was spacious and did not look or feel like a prison. Huge (!) closets. Carpeted. Loft beds. Air conditioner. Provided desks with shelves and drawers for clothing. Gosh I miss my dorm room from freshman year.</p>
<p>Mine’s a box this year. Bunk beds and very limited space. I don’t have my own “side”. It is a smaller dorm in general. Like 40 people live here, as opposed to 240 during my freshman year.</p>
<p>Small. White walls. 2 desks. 2 chairs. 2 closets. 1 fridge/microwave. 1 bathroom. Interesting, isn’t it?</p>
<p>My room is a decent size…10x15 with me and 1 roommate. We have our beds arranged in an L shape, our desks are back to back. The fridge, microwave and TV are in the corner. On the walls are posters, drawings and other random things. It’s an organized chaos…so if you look at it, it looks kinda bad…but we can almost always find what we need.</p>
