Comfort and flexibility—your bed, your way.
Each room includes:
- An adjustable-height twin (regular) bed
- A dual-firmness mattress—flip it for firm or extra firm support
- Bed dimensions: approx. 80.5″” long x 41″” wide x 37″” high
Customize your bed height to match your storage needs and comfort.
Setting Clearance Under Bed:

Beds are typically set to the middle height at move-in for a balance of under-bed storage and easy access.
Some Brown Hall rooms may have bunked beds when you arrive to help save space. If you’d prefer a different setup, you’re welcome to bunk or un-bunk your bed after move-in.
You’ll have your own space to study, create, and focus.
Every resident gets a desk and a two-position chair. The desks are approximately 42″ wide by 24″ deep and 30″ high.
Plenty of room for your laptop, books, and a few personal touches.
