<p>Well, I wouldn’t say lack of space is a total non issue, but with a little planning it works out. D is using vertical hangers, a hanging shoe shoe rack, and a couple other organizational/storage shelves/bins, hooks, etc. which really helps quite a bit. In fact, I don’t think there is any wasted space There is no extra space for useless clutter so they will have to keep things relatively neat. Yet there is still room to move around, sleep, and work. They have a micro fridge, TV, air purifier, lamps, etc which all fit fine. D mentioned today that she really likes her roomates – she thinks Nova did a good job matching their compatibilities and interests – and with their schedules, she thinks the three of them will actually spend very little time in the room at the same time other than sleeping. </p>

<p>I was more concerned about whether or not there would be enough outlets, which, with a little ingenuity, I was able to resolve without too much hassle. Been through that before so I came prepared to work that part out. I’d be glad to offer tips to anyone who needs them, but I think most people have all that figured out by now. </p>

<p>Yes, we deposited pretty late and understood that might increase the chances of being tripled, but D applied to a lot schools and really needed the time to sort it all out. So no regrets, no second thoughts or anything like that. Everyone is pleased with how things came together. The fact that Nova did such a fantastic job welcoming everyone, coordinating orientation, and bringing the new students and parents into their community has been an added bonus. Some things might have been better here or there if you want to be really nitpicky, but overall, and having gone through it all before at other schools, I rate it as being a first class effort given the scale and logistics involved.</p>
