View your residence hall's room dimension details for information regarding whether the beds in your unit can be bunked.

For units with bunkable beds, consider the following before making changes:

• Both residents must be moved in and agree on the change.
• Determine how high or low you want the beds raised or lowered (count the notches).
• All unit residents must be present when beds are being bunked or unbunked.
• The beds must be free of all personal items (including linens), and the floor must be clear.

Our staff members can help with bunking, unbunking or adjusting the height of the beds — ask for help at the residence hall's front desk.
