mm99, does your college’s website show the “floorplan” of your dorm room. The “residence hall” section of S’s college website has diagrams of the various dorm room layouts. If yours does, it can help you figure out if you will have room for a futon.

Both my S’s had futons in their dorm rooms. Both used them a lot. However, both did have roommates and beds were bunked/lofted so the futon was good for basic seating,watching TV,reading.
The futon was also very handy when they had visitors (friends fr. other schools) on weekends.

Their futons were the basic kind from Wal-Mart. It came unassembled in a box. We left it in the box for easy transport. On move-in day, DH and S assembled in it the dorm room (with tools brought fr, home).
