The larger room of their quad is partially covered by a loft. Two beds are on top of the blue carpeted loft and two beds are underneath. A huge paper tree, complete with paper birds, decorates the bright yellow walls and gives the room the feeling of daytime. Since Robert Allen, a sophomore government and politics major, and his roommates couldn't get two rooms, they decided to build an extra one. Their triple is almost completely covered by a loft, making two floors.
Students stop by the room just to check it out.
When creating a second story is out of the question, crafty dorm residents find other ways of maximizing their living space. Alyssa Gorlin, a sophomore family studies and Spanish major, and her roommate Julie Katz, a sophomore dietetics major, raised their beds four feet off the ground using cinderblocks. Under one bed they store shelves of food and their refrigerator. It gives you lots of storage space. The extra space was not the only thing that makes this room truly unique.
