<p>As mentioned, the furnishings in a dorm room vary from school to school and even within one college. It is best to check the website on housing to see if they list the furnishings or call and ask. My D’s room did not come with any nighttable. My guess is that few rooms do but they might. I saw my niece’s room at her college and there were all sorts of built in’s around the bed. </p>
<p>My D had brought a plastic set of file style drawers that is about the right height for a nighttable as well but is also storage. We had gotten these years ago to take to their camps in summer (many girls had these). An alarm clock and lamp can go on it, etc. The drawers can provide storage for things other than clothing as well. </p>
<p>Now the issue of a top bunk…I don’t know but my D said she might have a loft next year that she just got from a friend and so yeah, that will need some other arrangement for what is by her bed. Like maybe she’d need more of a clip on lamp. Not sure about the rest…some sort of shelf that attaches to a wall? Funny but at my other D’s summer program, they have bunk beds and she was on the top bunk but they had these tall dressers and her dresser was at the end of the bunk bed and so she had things on top of that and could reach it. </p>
