WE TALK WITH...
Deepu Murty
Senior, Brown University
How do you make your dorm room the ‘hot spot’?
First and foremost, make sure you have Lil’ Kim’s “Hotspot” blaring through your speakers.
No. For real.
The most inviting room I ever saw said “Free Cookies Inside”. If you need friends, offer food.
So besides food, what else creates a welcoming atmosphere?
A comfy chair. Board games. Pop—oh wait, I’m from the Midwest; I mean soda.
What makes a room hip?
Old school Nintendo helps out a little. Sure your GPA might drop a few points, but having video game buddies is worth it. Oh, and a fridge, too!
What makes a bad room?
Crusty food on the floor. Stuffed animals if you’re a guy. Underwear hanging all over to dry if you’re a girl. Door closed. Too many pictures of yourself. Too many pictures of your friends and your so-cool home social life.
What about wall coverings?
Avoid the mass, cliché posters. Go for something unique. Like a giant picture of your mom—just kidding.
