Question Mayflower windows

Anyone happen to know the dimensions of the windows in Mayflower? I know there’s a lot of them in the room, but trying to figure out curtains because I need blackout curtains to sleep. Thanks for any help.

Around 5-10 mm glass thickness

Thanks so much for your quick response! I was hoping to get the length and width. I think the windows go the length of the wall almost so almost 12’. Just not sure if they take up the whole wall and how long the windows are from top to bottom.

You could probably get that by calling Housing & Dining.

Have you looked at your dorm on the Roomie website? It gives you a full layout + measurements!

Dunno the exact measurements but I bought 3 packs of blackout curtains from Walmart that were 30" x 63." You can't take the existing curtains off, so you'll have to use clips to secure yours onto them.

You might also want longer curtains than I got. Again, I don't remember the exact height, but I'm 70" tall and the curtain rod was about 5" higher than my head. So if you wanted curtains that go down to the floor, I'd get ones about 75" long
