It is interesting that the building's designers did not make the tower in the traditional rectangle shape. Morrill Tower, if viewed from above looks somewhat similar to a flower. The tower has 24 floors, 20 of which are residential. Each floor is made up of six suites of nine or ten people, so there are approximately 60 people per floor.
The suite has a few different rooms. Once you enter the suite you are in the common room where we watch television and play video games. We have two TVs, a couch, a futon, chairs, and a good number of video games.
Beyond the common room is door that leads to five different rooms. Four of these are bed rooms and the remaining door leads into a bathroom. It is unusual to have a bathroom will showers in your room. I question why the designers did not turn use this as another bedroom and have community bathrooms on the floor.
If you decide to enter a bedroom, you first will have to go through a study room. The study rooms are where most residents house their laptops. These study rooms were likely made so that students can have a more private place to study. It also should be noted that it is a bit of a walk to the library. The designers must have noticed this and inserted the study rooms to promote good study habits around the dorm.
The study rooms have a door into the bedrooms. I live in a double, so we each have a side to ourselves. There are two other doubles and a quad in my suite.
My suite is a great place to live. It is pretty easy to find time to study. If it is not quiet enough in the suite, there are study rooms available on the main floor of the tower. The designers of the tower were successful in creating a dormitory that fits a lot of people inside but also gives them plenty of space. The only question I have is, how could you not want to live in Morrill Tower?
