that doesn't look very comfortable.  just loft one of the beds.  also, the top guy has it made compared to the bottom guy.

Ha yeah, i only lived in a double in the dorms. I knew kids who bunked theirs in doubles though, didn't give you much more room than just lofting your beds.

^the top guy has the most room, but the bottom guy falls off his bed at night sometimes so he doesnt want to loft it. that was part of the reason we bunked them all together.

its plenty comfortable, theres just as much room as any other bunked bed, minus a little

the bottom guy looks like he's sleeping in a coffin. I'd be really uncomfortable with that little space.

and i'm sorry your in a triple. Sucks to be you!

Gonna blow when one of you guys brings a chick back to bang her. Not only will the bottom two not have enough room, but the guy on the top would shake the whole thing, so its a lose-lose-lose situation for you 3.

I wish I could just loft my bed. I am not really cramped for space in my room but lofts just seem like a ton of fun.

we considered doing that in my room (damn forced triple)

but either way, i already have the top bunk on just a regular double bunk, and if i fall off during the night, i'll either roll out the window and fall three floors (how sick of a way to die in college is that, imagine the papers? "Student rolls out of bed, out window to death 3 floors below") and if i roll the other way, i'll hit so much stuff on the way down that i'll die before hitting the ground

lofting is basically where you have a bunk bed with no bottom bunk, so you can put a desk or something under it

Word, I've never seen anything like college dorms. You pay a fortune to live in a walk-in closet with another dude (sometimes 2).

Some dorms can be cool, but those are usually the exception and not the rule, and they often cost a lot more.

bottom guy is lucky, getting in and out of a lofted bed blows. i had mine lofted freshman year, and finally conceded id rather have less space than have to climb in and out of bed. plus its cooler near the floor

bunking would suck so bad. theres not much privacy in dorms but now theres way less when the dude is right on top of you.
