OMG you sound like my parents lol they were trying to find the “kohls bag” all day and then something that was evidently in a different kohls bag

That can take up a lot of room in a dorm, believe it or not. Dorms are tiny and every bit of space is critical. Maybe an under the bed one could work.

Actually having lived in several styles and sized dorms and been to a few other campuses... There is a seriously wide variety of room sizes across the nation. Seriously! That tote looks to be about 40-48" long which is very "doable" for most dorms I've seen.

Hmm yeah that’s true and mine that I had was actually quite big cause I got a double somehow and then my roommate left after two weeks so it was huge and all mine but a lot of others on the floor were pretty small and I know my brother’s at his school was so tiny so I know it depends for sure. The bin itself doesnt look too big but it just seems like its taking up a ton of space in that corner? But maybe it depends and is just in a bad spot. It just seems like, depending how big the dorm is, the space could be better used for other things. Or if they have a roommate wanting input too. If it was in my first room, it would have fit easily cause that thing was massive but if it was my brothers size room? No way

I. Rest my case.

Yes you were absolutely right and I forgot about my old room tbh I feel like most lean towards the smaller side though, no? Maybe they have been expanding. I know my building was newer I think and there was a really old building that was a lot smaller and tighter halls and common areas and everything too.

We finally got our tree up.. Tuesday, lol! Are we the last ones up? We decided as a family that we really couldn't expect Santa to put packages at the base of the floor lamp! It was just too tacky!

Case in point.
On UNT's main campus:
Bruce Hall, (pushing past 75 years old) standard dual bed room
~15' x~15'
West hall, standard is 3 person rooms ~20' X ~20'
College inn circa ~1955 (swimming pool is the shape of a coffin) 3 styles of rooms; the back 9 are either singles room (AKA matchboxes) ~8' x ~14', the twin room was a kitchenette that was ~20'x~20' or the twins around the pool are akin to Bruce halls room sizes.

So that's just 1/2 the halls on UNTs campus circa 2003 and several more were there then and several new have been built since then as well.

Have fun with the math kiddo.
