Didn't it have a sink in it too?

(Re: Buffy and Willow's dorm room) - no, it did not. As seen in "Hush", Buffy had to walk down to the communal bathroom to brush her teeth in the morning.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

We had a sink in our dorm room, which was about 20 by 20 and had massively high ceilings.

So, the dorm room seemed large for freshmen, but it didn't jar me too much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm just appalled at the idea of sharing a dorm room. Ours were matchbox sized, but they were ours, dammit. Very few shared rooms in our building.

Art Crawl!!!

I thought that Buffy's dorm room was huge but isn't that in the tradition of say, NY apartments in shows like Friends?

I'm so glad that they've started showing repeats on UPN.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Heh. I think the room I'm in now, for me and my roommate, is about as big as the space from the closet to one of the beds in Buffy's dorm.

Ann, that's a ferret.

no, it did not. As seen in "Hush", Buffy had to walk down to the communal bathroom to brush her teeth in the morning.

And in "Something Blue," Willow cast her spell in that bathroom.

Didn't it have a sink in it too? Or was that Willow's in "The Body"?

Hmmm, and I thought it did too! My school didn't have any dorms with sinks in the bedrooms (UVA) but at Virginia Tech, all the dorm rooms had sinks in them. They were the tiniest rooms ever (you had to have a loft; two beds and two desks wouldn't fit on the floor), but nice to be able to brush your teeth or get a cup of water without walking down the hall.

Ahhh the day isn't a day until someone has said 'sweet merciful crap'

Thanks for making this day a true day Sean. I can always count on you.

Glad to be of service, Gleebo. It's possibly my all-time favorite Homer expression.

I haven't had a chance to listen to any of the commenaries yet. They should be fun.

Where did you go to school, ita? Not sharing a tiny dorm room sounds almost as strange as the giant apartments Plei got to share.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It was the standard at my old university. Not that I was living on campus, but those who did had their room to themselves.
