Exactly forty years ago this fall, my first dorm room as a freshman was about 15x8 feet, shared with another student. Along one wall were our desks, clothes closets and dressers/mirrors.

The bathroom was down the hall, and the washing machines were in the basement.
Neither of us had a TV or even a stereo. No refrigerator.
