[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a freshman, my roommate got there first. She picked the bed that was stable. I got the one tilted at a 45 degree angle to the floor. As I had flown out to Stanford alone, I figured out how to get the wheel casing back on the bed leg by myself.[/quote]

Getting there first is definitely advantageous.  But be careful what you foist on your roommate.

My kid is a sophomore.  Arrived first for freshman year, second this year.

First year, better bed orientation to a window sill and did not have the HVAC vent near the bed.

Second year, parents and kid had to figure out how to recombine all the modular furniture to unloft the bed.  The desk has to be against the HVAC unit.  And worse closet door location (blocked by main door to room when open).

Of course, this is kind of minor.  But if you're picky it might be an irritant.[/quote]

My DC's freshman room was a quad.  One of the kids just marched in there. Walked up to the bed desired. Put all their stuff on it and had no discussion with any of the others about how to decide who was going to get what bed or how they were going to set up the room.  And the rest of the year seemed to go like that. 
  Needless to say, three of them are still friends and one the other one has continued to socially struggle.  But presumably has a good bed.  Not sure it's worth it if you have to act like a selfish fool.[/quote]
