CRIBS: Building B, Room 406

Posted By: Dominique D.

Hey all! Welcome to my room in Building B, room 406. Building B is cool because it's right above the cafeteria, FFC (Fresh Foods Cafe) and is close to the library, many buildings, and the AMR's. Unlike the other bloggers, I live in a triple--a dorm with 2 other people. I chose it because it was the cheapest option. If money is an issue for you, then you also may want to think about getting a triple. It's very manageable but it does take some getting used to. So let's take a look!

Here is my door with my name. All of the building RA's (Resident Advisors) put these on the doors before everyone moves in. Note the very important white board where people can leave random or serious messages...a must have for college!

So when you enter my room, my bed is the first one you can see. Sorry about the extreme princessy girlyness of it, I just like bright colors.

My bed is fully lofted, meaning I had it raised enough to fit my desk and dresser under there. This frees up a lot of space, and all triples have lofted beds. The ladder was a little bit annoying at first but you get used to it very quickly.

My dresser drawer with a ton of toiletries and my clothes. Sorry about the mess!

 

This is my also messy desk with my printer and my laptop. The laptop is a must have for college whereas the printer isn't, but it's nice not having to walk all the way to the library when I need to print out a lab report. Plus Building B doesn't have a common computer lab where we can print.

This is our microfridge. My roommates and I split the cost so it ended up being about 60 bucks a person, not too bad. The freezer is GREAT and the fridge has enough room for all three of our things. It's not necessary but it is very convenient.

Last but not least, here is our bathroom! It is smaller than the other bathrooms in Building B because we don't have any suitemates, but it serves the purpose. =]

Here is my CRIBS video. I hope you all enjoy!

Is that a desktop computer on your desk?

No, it's just a very large ibm thinkpad laptop haha. Most people don't bring desktops because that takes away the convenience factor of having a laptop...
