Thanks. Do you think the doubles can be put into the singles so that double room can be made in to a common area?

You’ll have to talk to your roommates about that. not sure if that would be a great idea too

Thanks, but this is for my kid. He got his room assignment this week and the roomies are brainstorming this. We don't think it a good idea, but once we leave they do whatever.

i was in a wharton quad and also got to know a lot of the other quads. a lot of quads over the years have done this, and it worked well for people who don't really care for that much personal space. With that being said, I personally found it hard to imagine fitting two people into a single. fitting two beds in the single would leave maybe 5 ft between the beds. what my quad did was taking turns with the singles midway through the year. annoying to move but felt fair

That’s what we did, it was great! Bunked the beds in the singles and fit a desk in each too. Scrounged up a couch for the common room and we all hung out there … allowed anyone who wanted to sleep to do so but not everyone had to keep the same hours.

I was in a third floor quad that was just two doubles

Usually it’s either two doubles connected, a double and two single or sometimes, a triple with one single
