We’re living in dormitory rooms eerily reminiscent of my undergraduate days. The rooms are simple: two twin beds, a desk, a nightstand, and closet space for two. Separate bathrooms for men and women are down the hallway. Each building has a lounge with a pool table and television. We get a few TV stations, including the armed force’s network. Two other stations play movies (without commercial interruption!) around the clock. We are in one of the nicer dorms. Apparently there are others with four to a room!
Noise is an issue, and it’s been hard to get a good night of sleep. This is mainly because lots of people wear boots, and the clomping echoes down the hallways. Those of us on the night shift are often awakened by dayshift people who can’t seem to resist stopping by the dorms during the day.
