It s like walking into a different world ’

Many Brevard College students are fin
ding new and innovative ways to spruce up
their dorm rooms and make the room “a
home away from home.”
Lofts are the most trendy way to
decorate the rooms on the BC campus.
Usually built with lumber and secured
with strong nuts and bolts, lofts leave more
precious space for chairs, tables, televi
sions, stereos, refrigerators and sofas.
Most of the lofts on campus were built by
parents or were bought from graduating
students the previous year and put in
storage over the summer.
According to sophomore roommates
Kelly Brannon and Mae King, they had
planned every little tidbit of the room over
the summer. “Utilizing space is the most
important thing,” says Mae, “We wanted
it to look comfortable with a laid back at
mosphere.”
“I see it (the room) as a three dimen
sional canvas,” says Kelly, “and I can do
with it whatever I want.”
Lofts are a great way to make more
space, but what goes in that space? There
are some essentials that many students on
campus say are important.
Carpeting is a good way to brighten up
the room. Some rooms on campus feature
wall-to-wall carpeting as freshmen Felicia
Jacobs and Susan Smith’s room, while
many others use carpet remnants to add
color and spice up the room.
Another essential item located in most
dorm rooms is the refrigerator for snacks
in between classes or that late night crav
ing for food. Some students rent
refrigerators from the college, while
■ others buy the bar-size refrigerator for
future years. Whatever the case, students
find a refrigerator convenient for the early
morning breakfast in the room so you can
catch a few more winks.
Other things located in students’ rooms
on the BC campus include sofas, director’s
chairs, colored throw pillows, posters of
their favorite rock groups or a nice print,
oodles of pictures of their friends and fami
ly, and the always needed microwave.
