★ Room Specific Advice ★
In PE, we have Singles, Doubles, Quads, and a Quint. First Years are always placed in either doubles or quads. Check out the details below for your type of room! And see the bottom of this page for a gallery of different room set ups. Don't hesitate to ask your Welcome Weekend leaders if you have any questions!
Doubles
The majority of the first year students in PE are placed in doubles. Doubles are 12' x 17'. They come with a sink, a medicine cabinet/mirror, two beds, two desks, two desk chairs, a trash can, a recycling bin, some built-in shelves by the screened window, and two built-in wardrobes. We recommend that you get some sort of carpet for your room as the floor gets cold in the winter. 8' x 6' and 9' x 7' rugs work nicely in doubles.
The furniture in the doubles allows for beds to be lofted, bunked, or remain on the floor. Lofting the beds allows room for desks, futons, fridges, etc. under the beds. Bunking the beds allows more room for a futon, and the height on the beds can be adjusted to allow storage under the bottom bunk. If you choose to leave your beds on the floor in a double, you probably won't have room for a futon. It can be done, but it requires cramming a lot of furniture into one room, and it often makes the room feel very small. You can still make space for a small fridge and a small chair with both beds on the floor though. Pyros who choose to leave their beds on the floor often get bed risers to create more storage space under the beds. If you do that, make sure you get a real bed riser from a store, (not bricks, blocks of wood, or your old text books).

Quads
Each quad in PE has three 10' x 12' rooms that are connected to each other with adjoining doors. The two side rooms are usually used as bedrooms. Each side room has two wardrobes, two beds, two desks, a trash can, a recycling bin, a sink, a medicine cabinet with a mirror, and a screened window with a shade. The middle room is usually used as a "common room" or a "social room." Futons, couches, chairs, tvs, refrigerators, small tables, extra storage, etc. are placed in the middle room. The middle room comes with a screened window with a shade. Though all three rooms have a door to the hallway, residents of quads usually enter and exit their room only through the middle room. This is because the doors connecting the side rooms to the hallway are usually covered by furniture.
All furniture in quads, including wardrobes, is modular. This will allow quad residents to bunk their beds on top of each other or to loft them by placing them on top of the other furniture (wardrobes and desks).
