About the Rooms:
All first-year Walsh students are in double rooms, with one roommate. Each room comes equipped with:
- A sink, a mirror, a recycling bin, and a trash can.
- Furnishings include 2 twin XL beds, 2 desks, 2 desk chairs, and a 2 open wardrobes with a drawer on the bottom.
- No, we do not have Air Conditioning in the bedrooms (only common spaces)--so bring a fan!
- Floors are tiled, and many residents choose to purchase a throw rug, but wait to buy until you talk to your roommate.
- Unfortunately, we can't give exact dimensions for your room. Each room in Walsh has different dimensions (#historicbuilding #character) and the first year rooms will always be the smallest. A notable feature is that we have 9 foot ceilings, so stackable/vertical storage or decor would be wise.
- We believe most of the doubles are about 140 square feet (#cozy) so try to embrace simple living!
- First Year rooms do not really have room for a futon, so I'd wait until you get here to see if that's something that will fit. You can always have it shipped here to your door (#thanksamazon) if you think you can fit it.
- Our floor plan tab is password protected for your security. You will be able to access it when you receive the password from our Rector Liz in an email after our Walsh Fall roster is finalized (usually after July 20).
Modular Furniture:
Good news about modular furniture! You do not have to bring, build, find, buy, beg, steal, or borrow a homemade loft with lumber. DO NOT BRING LOFT MAKING MATERIALS! The furniture in our hall is created for residence halls, and is made to be stackable. All first year rooms will be pre-lofted, so parents and staff aren't breaking their backs in the chaos of move-in. If you want a different layout, it's easier to take down than to put up. We suggest trying it for a few weeks before changing it; but if you want to change it at any time, we can help you.
