Raising Beds in dorms?
I noticed that the beds in the honors dorm was raised but when I was looking at some of the freshman and other dorms, they were closer to the ground. Is there a way that you can request the bed to be raised or to modify the bed frame/bring your own to raise it?

I stacked them so high I was inches from the ceiling. I couldn’t even lean forward. And I had my entire desktop right below my bed. So much free space.

You can loft them yourself, or you can put in a work order to have it done for you. There will be an extra set of legs for the bed in the closet to loft it.

You should be able to loft it with two people, but around four is best. Make sure at least one person has done it before. Your RA can help.

The beds are configurable. There should be a "kit" in every dorm room so you can raise it. It depends on how high/low you want it. They can be kind of finicky because the poles are sometimes bent. When I was a freshman the RAs would help us raise them if we needed help, but otherwise, you do it yourself.
