<p>rider, for some reason it doesn’t exactly work that way – it should but it doesn’t.</p>
<p>At Clark Kerr and Foothill, the suites have a separate lounge for each suite. While the bedrooms are larger than standard dorm rooms (i.e. non-mini suites in the units), the mini-suite bedrooms are actually larger than those at either Foothill or Clark Kerr. But the mini-suites have no separate lounge (there is a lounge on each floor, but not within each suite). That’s why it’s called a mini-suite. There is a little foyer as you walk in the front door to the mini-suite. The foyer has nothing in it, but is the connector to the two bedrooms and the bathroom, creating the “suite” aspect. </p>
<p>My son had a foothill double first year and his room was tiny compared to the unit one mini-suite bedroom (also a double). He and his roommate were not only able to fit in all their stuff, but a small sofa and table, and still had plenty of room to move around and entertain.</p>
<p>It was strange because the Foothill dorm cost $1,000 more than the unit 1 mini-suite.</p>
