The Life of a Dorm-Room Dweller

As I prepare for a fourth and final year living in a dorm room in a building built in the 1960's I have realized that I am very good at making the smallest, somewhat bleak spaces into a lovely place to live. I was quite impressed by my 12' 1/5" x 15' 9" room and the fact that Solberg has a laundry room, a fake fireplace and roof access that I just so happen to know about. But then I was asked by Bestcollegesonline.com to incorporate a recent article, "The 10 Most Modern Dorms in the World" from their blog into one of my posts.

Wow! These dorms are absolutely astounding! My personal favorite was Tietgen Dormitory at Copenhagen University. I did a post about windows back in December. I would love to live in one of these 'windows in the skies.'

Another intriguing building is Cite A Docks, a dorm building at Royaume-Uni in La Havre, France. This building is made entirely of shipping containers.

Ok so these truly epic buildings might seem like they put good ol' Solbergio to shame but this lovely building that I have called home for nearly three years is still one of my favorite places in the world!
