In the bedrooms at Chatham, there is a dresser with 6 drawers (so 3 each) and a walk-in closet. It's not huge, but it is a decent size.

WOW!!! That doesn't give me enough room at all!!! Guess I'll have to bring some under the bed storage

Trust me, if I can do it anything is possible!

And if you get stuck at Vista you have ...

1 night stand with a drawer in it.

1 6 drawer dresser that is shared with your roommate ( so 3 drawers )

1 walk-in closet 1 side with 1 shelf and room for hangers for each roommate

1 locker that is similar to an old school locker.


Not much room in the least bit.

Many people get the plastic tubs from Wal Mart and put stuff in them and slide them under their bed. That seemed to help people out.

I lived in Vista, and I needed more room than what I had. My roommate was generous enough to let me use two of her drawers. In all, I had my closet full of hanging clothes, my shelf above my closet was FULL, with things piled on top of each other. I had my night stand full. So I had 5 drawers, 2 night stand drawers, and a full closet, overflowing closet!
the next time I go (fall 2008) I am not bringing as many clothes! I learned the first time!! I think I can survive without as many.

My closet was HUGE in Chatham. No joke, four people could lay down in it across the floor.

I'm from Long Island, I constantly overpack, I own more clothes than I could possibly wear (considering how much I brought down there) and trust me, i was FINE.

It all depends on where you live.

As you can tell from the difference in posts here.

Chatham is 10x better than Vista.

I would be willing to say that Chatham has at least 2x the space that Vista does.

Just remember when packing that most of your clothing will be issued to you by costuming. So you will really only need like two to three outside outfits a week. I got by by only having one underbed Container filled with clothing for my entire year. Plus there was quite a bit that I picked up while living there. I was there for a year, the only thing I really was not prepaired for was sheets and other bed clothes as well a a foam pad for the beds. They are harder that rocks for the most part. Plus you may want a comforter depending on how low your roommates like to keep the AC.
