The breaking news is that the cave-like dorm rooms may soon become a thing of the past. If you think that a new generation of students won’t mind sharing bathrooms with tens of people, think again.
Today’s kids want all the comfort of home. And luxury dorms have no other choice but offer not only more space and private bathrooms attached to every room, but also fitness centers, spa, grocery delivery and other services.
“If You Have Everything You Need, You Never Go Outside”
Today’s students not only have all the necessary essentials, but also enjoy plenty of luxury extras in their dorm rooms.
1. University of Michigan – North Quadrangle Residential
A room in this dorm can make even the most demanding student jump with joy. The following are only a few amenities which attract crowds of students to this place:
- an internationally themed dining hall (serving salmon fillet, tortellini, shark etc.);
- art gallery;
- café and coffee shop;
- a huge hall with new armchairs for students to work on group projects.
2. University of Pennsylvania
The 33 stories of the university’s luxury dorm welcome both freshmen and upperclassmen. For you to understand the level of this dorm, we might mention only one detail – there’s gonna be a rooftop pool. Nice, isn’t it?
3. University of Cincinnati – Campus Recreation Center Housing
The student’s living essentials a decade ago included only Red Bull, Wi Fi and Ramen. Today it’s not enough. Students want more. Probably, for that reason, the University of Cincinnati offers a fitness center with more than 200 machines and a 40-foot climbing wall.
4. Purdue University Dorm
The residents of this dorm readily pay $5000 to live in this complex, which is ‘essentially a hotel’. Ceramic-tiled kitchenettes and customized entertainment centers give students all the luxuries of home and even more than that.
5. Georgia State University – University Commons
And this dorm goes even further than the rest in this list. To make sure that the residents of this dorm have absolutely no need to go out, as this dorm has not only a convenience store, but also a health clinic on its territory.
Don’t these luxury dorms keep the romance of living in the dorm away from students’ lives? Or should students go through certain hardships to get ready for real life waiting for them after graduation?
