<p>If you loft your bed, make sure you have a futon to sleep on for those nights you can’t make it to your loft.</p>
<p>My roommate and I didn’t loft our beds freshman year and I actually preferred. Rooms with lofted beds usually had a futon and then TV/fridge/etc on the other side, so there was only room for 3 or 4 people to sit. My roommate and I had our beds on the floor so when we had people in our room, there were plenty of places to sit. I also got freaked out the one time I climbed up onto my friend’s loft. It’s a personal preference though, just my two cents.</p>
