You have a HUGE dorm room. What's the dimensions on the room? My triple last year was 9x9 living space :(

How'd you fit three beds in a 9x9?

let alone desks and all that. I mean, hell, a bed is easily more than 3 feet wide so you would have had to have stacked them up, but still no room for desks . . .

Too bad the room's all blurry, though... Maybe you should consider getting it detoxed?

I lived a triple my freshman year of college. Of course it was tiny with the three of us in it, but it was also part of an 8 person suite. The suite was the largest one on the floor, beucase most of th other ones where for 4-6 people. Ours was considerably bigger than the 6 person suites. We had a kitchenet( no stove) microwave, full size fridge and a whole bunch of cabinets. the suite also came with a love seat couch, and two easy chairs. It als was furnished witha table and 4 charis and 2 coffee table like thingys.

It was pretty f'ing awesome. Lets just say there was a lot of video game playing along with some system link action invovled.

EDIT: Here it is. And I know a made a typo; tons not "towns."

here is my room at Rice last year (my residential college is Wiess).

my roomate made this panorama of our common area. Its not perfect but its pretty good. there are 4 people in the suite, two to a bedroom. The bedrooms were probably half-again the size of our commons. lots of space. I'm living in a different room but same floorplan next year. When I'm a junior I'll have a single. The bedrooms are the doors on the right, bathroom is the door on the left.

the little couch was free from friends, as was the carpet. The big sectional couch and coffee table were 10c each from a "nobody wants it" furniture auction. We repaired them a little and they served well enough.

haha. It was my idea. One of my suitemates brought the TV, and said "what should we put it on?" (this was before we had anything but the small couch and the carpet), so I filled the box up with the styrofoam and any other bits of bulky trash we could find (so it wouldn't just collapse under the TV) and taped it shut. problem solved.

Or a good way to get labeled before things start:p

You can't even imagine all the weird things that you will witness and participate that will happen in that room.
