I think this is so interesting because over this past summer, I dormed at one of Pratt's campus housing sites and I basically felt like I was living in a prison. The room was small, the walls were concrete blocks, and the shared bathroom was completely made of metal. It was cold and unpleasant. But it did give me the whole "hipster-living-conditions" feel that made me feel strangely cool. Whatever that means.
I would love nothing more to go to college and live in a wonderfully designed dorm, such as the ones they're trying to build in Sweden. I would also just love to live in Sweden. And I mean c'mon- you get your own kitchen, bathroom, sleeping space and patio- all for half the price of a regular dorming situation! How can you go wrong?
The dorms at Pratt sound exactly the same as the one at penn state, and if i had a choice i would definitely choose the dorms that they are building in Sweden
ReplyDeleteI can vouch for the dorms here in America feeling a lot like purgatory. Doesn't it seem like everything is a bit nicer in Sweden, though? Or in northern Europe in general? After all, they are some of the happiest places on earth.
