You can always hang a curtain over your closet as a door if you'd like. It's a lot nicer than seeing all your junk there ;__;.
There are 3 drawers, but sometimes the position of the bed is ridiculous (i.e.: your ethernet cable can't reach the desk) so you'll have to rearrange the furniture. I only ended up with 2 drawers of space.
oseebhai - they may have opted to hide their information or maybe they're actually empty =p

You could also bring a longer ethernet cable if you have one, that could really help. I brought one to my room in Edwards and it allowed me to bring my laptop to my bed. I had those really lazy/tired days when I didn't want to study, but I still reviewed notes by turning my laptop on the side and lying down on my bed. Lol XD

Haha. I can't study/read on my bed or I'll end up falling asleep.
During exams I throw junk on top of it so there's no where to lie down. =p

Lol, I've fell asleep a couple times, but I don't fall asleep for long. I usually wake up withing 15 minutes. Unless it's late at night.
Lol, but then how do you sleep?

I pass out during exam week so much because I love studying on my bed.

Lol! I put my alarm on in order to wake me up, but as the year went on I found myself waking up, setting my alarm for another 15 minutes and going back to sleep... And it wasn't only once, I would do that 3-4 times XD

Falling asleep while studying is the best feeling though. As long as you remember what you studied!

Of course! Nothing is worse than waking up and not remembering anything. It's so annoying and frustrating because you have to re-read what you just read!

Yeah, they are great between classes. During my 1 hour breaks I took a little nap. Just make sure not to over do it.

It wasn't until exam week that I became a believer of the short naps. They really do help when you've been studying all day.
