| My daughter has found that using box fans in the windows works well. If both room mates have them, they will move a huge volume of air through the room and at night, when the temp drops a bit, things are pretty comfortable. Plus the box fans, sitting on the window sills, don't take up floor space. My daughter supplements the window fans with a couple of small fans, one on her desk and one on a nightstand, so that she can have some directional control.
Many dorm rooms in Spruce do not have tables to eat at and students must supply their own tables. The basic furniture that each dorm is guaranteed is 2 desks, 2 bureaus and 2 beds. Mattresses are of 2 varieties - older cloth covered ones and newer vinyl covered foam. Mattress pads are a real plus to bring with you.
Each dorm room now has a landline phone recently installed by the school. It is good for local outgoing calls but can receive incoming long distance calls. For cell phones, Verizon has the best coverage. |
