<p>I spent a good amount of time in 2010-2011 in Cochrane. I’ll try to answer what I can.</p>
<p>The VT website doesn’t have photos of every dorm up, so that photo is probably from the traditional dorms. Cochrane has its sink in the hallway. I believe there are the 2 standalone closets in the room for clothing and other storage, as well as 2 sets of 3 drawer dressers. I’m unsure about the closets in the hallway, hopefully someone who actually lived in Cochrane can answer that.</p>
<p>Virginia Tech does all the cleaning and provides toilet paper for the bathroom. For all the suites I’ve been in, there isn’t really storage in the bathroom. There’s extra space, so you can add storage. Most people use a shower caddy or the little racks in the shower to keep their stuff.</p>
<p>The school provides a couch, chair, and coffee table in the living room. If someone has a tv that they want to share, or they want a more spacious place to eat/study/hang out, the living room is pretty useful. Even moreso if your D’s suitemates are all friends or at least can hang out on occasion. I spent a majority of my time in a Payne suite one year, and the suite was used for almost everything.</p>
<p>On the first floor, it is a main entrance and also a lounge/study area that was recently redone. It’s really nice.</p>
