How to DIY Deck out your Dorm
Hey future students,
Did you know that first-year students who apply to residence and pay their residence deposit by June 15 are guaranteed a tower room? We're now past the deadline, so if you haven't paid your deposit yet, be sure to do it quickly if you want to live in residence this year! And who wouldn't want to live in residence? You may know that The King's University is actually a refurbished hotel, and so the residence rooms are one of the greatest perks that come with living in a renovated hotel. Why you ask? Space for days. I’m talking about closet space, floor space, and wall space. While we have single occupancy rooms available, double occupancy is all you need to enjoy spacious (and affordable) living in residence.
Whether you’ve paid your residence deposit and need decoration ideas ASAP or if you’re in the middle of high school and dreaming about your future dorm room, these decoration ideas are for you!
