Dorm Room

Where your ASU student lives his or her freshman year is one of the most important decisions that will make their college life enjoyable. The hall in which they are placed is one of the easiest ways in which friends are made. This happens because of social connection and educational commonality. Each hall is divided mostly by major. For example, G4 is where the biochemistry, chemistry, and biological sciences are located.  However, there are other majors like history, psychology, and sociology that live on this floor. Arizona State University housing works very hard to match your student up with people that are in their major or same classes. Located in each hall are two study rooms, a laundry room and a lounge with a television and community kitchen. The two study rooms located on the floor are used differently because one has two white boards and the other one is just a room with a table, chairs and no window in the door. The smaller is one is more for an individual quiet area. While the bigger one is a where most groups go. Although it has a window in the door it is very quiet with a good temperature environment. Most students use the study rooms as a homework area, group study area, or a group hangout area.  It affects the entire floor because it gives area for students to study together or socially interact in a scholarly environment. The lounge with the community kitchen and television can also be used educationally because it quiet during the day and it is a comfortable area.  However, the lounge can also be used socially. Many students use it to watch movies, watch TV shows or play board games with friends. Also some students will make community dinners there. The lounge is a great place for relaxation. Also to mention, the laundry here in the Hassayampa Academic Village residences buildings are 100% free! As for the dorm rooms, each dorm contains “two Twin beds (36x76), two metal dressers, and two metal desk with chairs, one window and blinds,  a waste container and a blue recycle basket and Wi-Fi and high-speed internet” ("Arizona State Univerity: University Hosuing ").  Your child, their roommate and their suitemates share the bathroom which includes a shower, toilet, and towel hangers. Also they share the air conditioner unit but the room on the left side of the suite controls the temperature. Each dorm has its own unique structure so here are many ways to arrange a dorm room and personalize it in order to make it home for your college student to live their freshman year.
