Are there two of every furniture piece for shared dorms? And do you each have your own closet? What are the chances of housing alone? What about three to a room?
Yes there are two pieces of furniture to every dorm and two closets/ wardrobes (it depends on the dorm) . There were quite a lot of triplets in my hall. My suitemates were originally three to a room, but one moved to a different dorm for the spring semester. The chances of housing alone are slim. You can request one if you have a condition that requires you to live alone, or I believe you can pay extra for it also. I’ve had friends who eventually had their dorm to themselves if their roommate left JMU for whatever reason, but they were assigned a new roommate when the next semester began. Yes, I shared the bathroom w the dorm next to mine, but not all dorms are like that. I hope that helped ! Let me know if you have any more questions :)
No . Some of the other Bluestone area dorms , Logan, Wayland, and Hoffman, have wood flooring . I wanted wood floors to make it look more homey lol, but Gifford’s rooms are a tad bigger. Also, Wayland is reserved for “Artsy” majors- theater , music , dance, etc
Beds normally don’t come bunked, you’ll have to do it yourself. If your room is a triple (and is supposed to be a triple), beds still aren’t bunked because the rooms are bigger. HOWEVER lol, if it’s a triple because of overcrowding, one bed is lofted and the other two are bunked (because it’s a double sized room). You can, though, buy to have a loft installed !
this video is so helpful and you’re right, there’s no videos about jmu! thank you for helping make my final decision!
Ah yes ! I’m so excited for you lol. Bluestone is the best :)
I love that "Live is a journey" sign! It's so cute
Thank you ! I got it from Ross haha

Do you share the bathroom with the neighboring room?

Do all the dorms have tile flooring
