The walls aren't very thick, so while you're neighbor isn't expressing herself vocally, you can still hear the bed moving. -.-'

Last year, the guy next to me had sex in his room at least twice a week, I probably only heard it four or five times all year.  
It's not as common for the sound to carry as you think, and if that's keeping you awake at night, you're going to have so many other problems living in a dorm it doesn't matter which one you pick.

The dorm walls here, are thick. For my roommate to hear me, in her room, I'd literally have to be screaming, above a high decibel, or banging on th ewalls.

The school I'm probably going to end up at next year has almost entirely bunk beds! and most of them can't be un-bunked.


.... that's just begging for awkward situations.

Fact.  

 I did that on accident once. I had friends in the room next to us, and I promptly moved the bed so they didn't have to hear it. I didn't realize the bed was hitting the wall until they said something, but after we moved it it was fine. I still felt bad lol I try to be really quiet when I'm up here at school because I know how thin the walls are.


The bed noise can't be helped, really. These frames are horribly squeaky, and I think they have bunks so it's not so easy to move those away from the walls. It probably wouldn't have been noticeable if it weren't for the fact that I was reading so I had all other noises turned off.

Oh well, I probably had it coming from that weekend I had my boyfriend up here a bit ago...


Just put your bed on stacks tires.

It's college for you though... that's why you invest into some decent headphones.
