What are common rooms furnished with?

<p>In the housing forms, they say that the bedrooms have beds, chairs, desks, and a couple of other things, but don’t mention the common rooms. Does anyone know if they provide anything?</p>

<p>they don’t mention the common rooms because they’re empty. well as long as the “other things” includes one small bookcase per person.</p>

<p>:D! bookcases! Does that mean I don’t have to ship mine?</p>

<p>It really varies from room to room; some rooms (I’m talking about rooms in general, and common rooms here) come with a lot of stuff, while others come with only the basics – a desk, a dresser, and a bed. It’s best to assume that your common room will come barren – most do – and get stuff once you’re there.</p>

<p>In order not to dash your hopes, some rooms have come with the following:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>My room freshman year (111 1939 Hall) came with a full-size fridge, terrible 70’s wood paneling in the common room, and built-in shelving and cabinets in one of the common room walls. It also had a bathtub.</p></li>
<li><p>A room in Blair that belonged to a friend of mine from the HUM Sequence had only recently been converted from an RA room, so it came stocked with two comfortable sitting chairs (not the normal desk chairs), a coffee table, and two extra bookshelves, in addition to the normal stuff. The room was also enormous for a double – about 300 feet.</p></li>
<li><p>The suite I’m living in next year comes with a large table and a coffee table. A step down from the fridge, yes, but it’s a nicer suite overall.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I hope I only have bed/desk/chair/dresser. I’d rather bring my own stuff. How uncomfortable are the chairs? I guess we’re pretty stuck with them since we’re not allowed to remove furniture…maybe a chair mattress thingy will help?</p>

<p>not all rooms have bookcases- mine didnt last year and I was in a dorm (feinberg) that had new furniture. It all depends. </p>

<p>But the common rooms themselves are empty (and ours only had a single bulb light for a ~300-400sf common room)</p>

<p>(This is roughly what most rooms have… Note that some dorms have older furniture.)</p>

<p>wow that bed looks like it would break if someone jumped on it… hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… :D</p>

<p>Those beds are quite strong enough for most activities.</p>
