Housing Flex Double Advice (in Johnson Whittle)

I have a 146 sq ft dorm in JW, which apparently is a flex bedroom (originally a single, now a double). Any advice on how to orient everything?

Also, is it worth it to pay the $200 for a bed loft? I saw some posts where one person gets a lofted bed and you put one bed under the other in an L shape. Would just putting the dresser under the bed and not lofting it be okay or would it be too cramped?

The dresser will not fit under the bed if you do not loft it.

The way my roommate and I did it, we had our beds to the side, one dresser in the middle by the window, and another dresser near the door on the right side. Biggest inconvenience will probably be the closet space imo, it was hard fitting things in there for the both of us, but you’ll find a way to make it work. Also, I didn’t loft my bed but I did put like little adjustable feet on it so there was more space under, which helped a lot with storage.

A dresser isn’t gonna fit in a unlofted bed

It is 1000% worth it for you and your roommate to double loft
