the beds can be lofted at different levels. most of the girls seemed to lower them to one of the lower rungs. still with room under for the dressers and storage bins to fit (and in my d’s case, her little fridge and microwave–) but not so high that you feel like you’re hitting your head on the ceiling. The new commons buildings do have high ceilings, but my d’s room in an older building had lower ceilings. I’m not saying to hall wasn’t nice, it is, and it is fully renovated but her room was pretty tiny (and thats not just a parents perspective! I’m just trying to be honest, since i know everyone expects to get a new dorm…i know we did!) The rooms had great closets though, which definitely helped. corner closets, almost like little walk ins, with tons of room for hanging and some shelving.
