<p>Hi Again,</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me how high the beds are? I’m trying to figure out what kind of storage unit I can fit under the bed. I’d like to put a footlocker under there, but maybe that’s too high?</p>

<p>Are bed risers allowed?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Technically, no. In reality? I bought some.</p>

<p>Can anyone guess the space height from the floor the the bed frame? </p>

<p>Would a rolling footlocker fit under a dorm bed (I saw some pretty reasonably priced, but functional looking ones at </p>

<p>Here are the various sizes: </p>

<p>Q: What sizes are available?
A: #1102 - 30-1/2" x 16-1/2" x 13-1/2"
3.2 Cubic Feet of Storage</p>

<p>4.0 Cubic Feet of Storage</p>

<h1>1104 - 32-1/2" x 18-1/2" x 13-1/2"</h1>

<p>3.9 Cubic Feet of Storage</p>

<h1>1105 - 32-1/2" x 18-1/2" x 18-1/2"</h1>

<p>Will any of these fit under the bed or am I relegated to the flat containers that hold sweaters as my only viable option?</p>

<p>Thanks arbiter re: the risers. </p>

<p>Is there any room in the closet for any kind of narrow drawers? I’m in Elder if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>Please someone try to guesstimate the bed height for bin-type purposes. I’m traveling a long way and storage is big issue for me.</p>

<p>a mom here…you might also check with your peer advisor, or dorm president(not sure of student’s title). My DD is in another dorm, and she had emails from these 2 people and was able to get that question answered.</p>

<p>i would say the beds are about a foot off the ground. if you want to store boxes or anything large under your bed, you’ll probably have to get bed risers – which technically aren’t allowed, but a lot of people use them anyway.</p>

<p>it depends on your dorm too-some dorms have about a foot clearance underneath; my dorm’s beds have adjustable heights so i can get maybe 3-4 ft underneath</p>
