It’s getting real, folks. Your student is off to university, and you’re suddenly left wondering how you went from filling the cart with diapers to dorm room decor in less time than it takes to say, “let’s go Eagles!”

I know how you feel! Two summers ago, I (Rebecca) was moving my son into his dorm room at ŷ����ַ and found myself in a flurry of questions, both about major things like, “am I ready to be an empty nester” and the nitty gritties like “how many bins fit under a dorm bed?” or “will he actually use the lint roller we packed?”

Dorm room prep can be a doozy, so we’ve compiled answers to 50 college move-in questions (inspired by list) to make sure you can waltz your way through Walmart and spend time doing what really matters — enjoying these precious pre-college moments with your student.

Dorm Room Details and Storage

1. Room dimensions and sample room photos are available on ŷ����ַ’s website for each specific dorm room to help you plan how to use the space.

• Alpha Hall

• Blackstone Hall

• Hart Hall

• Hope Hall

• Horton Hall

• Sigma Hall

• Stewart Hall

2. The hanging space available inside the wardrobes we provide is approximately 30 – 34 inches wide and 20 – 22 inches deep. This allows space for approximately 25 clothes hangers in each wardrobe. Wardrobes vary somewhat in size across campus. 

3. Hanging racks like the shoe rack picture below offer creative ways to use space in wardrobes.

4. Bed height can be standard, low, captain, lofted or bunked (your student gets to choose!). Bed risers are NOT allowed in ŷ����ַ dorms. Captain height beds allow for plenty of storage space; the dresser we provide fits perfectly under a captain height bed
