Economy Double rooms are a great, newer option for students who may be more interested in amenities than square footage. Located in Laurel Village, Summit, Parmelee 4^th floor, and Braiden 4^th floor, these rooms offer features like air conditioning, and newer construction, at a lower price point than other rooms in the same building. Economy Doubles are smaller than other rooms, housing two people in a space originally designated as a single.

As a new offering for room assignments, during Fall 2023, we asked current residents about their experience living in an economy double. Some of the things they said are:

• The room works and the air conditioning is worth it
• I’m benefitting well from it price-wise for AC
• The small space is easy to get used to and isn’t bad at all it’s kinda cozy
• I enjoy paying less for a room/hall that comes with a lot of perks
• My roommate and I remain very clean and organized in our room. Thus, our space although small, remains quite comfortable. I personally don’t have an issue with the room size, especially since I get to be in a suite-style room!
• The nicer buildings are definitely worth it. The rooms aren’t that much smaller either. The closet space is difficult but every other aspect of the room is fine
• I think that as I got adjusted to my room, I barely noticed the size. My roommate and I wanted a private bathroom so we’re satisfied with the room.
• I got to live with my roommate and take part in a fun community

Furnishings

Each room is furnished with two beds, two desks, two small storage cabinets, two dressers, and one closet/wardrobe. To help accommodate both students, furniture layouts in Economy Doubles is fixed and cannot be rearranged.
