Is your place unfurnished? Many dorms COME WITH furniture that you are stuck with so if you get a futon PLUS the bed that comes with the dorm, space can get tight. Double-check before deciding. My S chose to have a futon instead of a bed when we were purchasing furniture. The trick is to get a good quality mattress so you aren’t feeling the frame of the futon. We have already replaced his mattress once. A futon IS more useful than a sofa (we have one that replaced our living room sofa & it’s nice when we have visitors–they can sleep on it). Not all mattresses for futons are created equal–you want a thick, dense mattres rather than supersoft cheap-o foam ones that don’t provide any support.
