Charlie accompanied Claudia to her dormitory with Mrs. Lewis and Stephanie.
Since it was the first day of the freshmen’s enrollment, the management of the dormitory did not stop men from entering the girl’s dormitory. The four of them walked all the way to Room 301 on the third floor. As soon as they opened the door, Stephanie could not help but exclaim, “My goodness, the environment in this dormitory is quite amazing, isn’t it?”
The actual area of this dormitory was more than fifty square meters, but it only had two double-decker desk beds in it. The upper layer was a bed, and the lower layer was a desk.
In addition, the dormitory also had two sets of combination wardrobes with password locks and a separate bathroom with a shower. This environment was indeed much better compared to the other student dormitories at Aurous University.
Claudia was a little surprised when faced with Stephanie’s exclamation. She looked around the room and asked curiously, “Stephanie, don’t all university dormitories look like this? This kind of environment is quite satisfactory, but can it be said to be very good? It doesn’t even have a living room in it.”
According to Claudia’s knowledge, the minimum starting point for university dormitories in Canada and the United States was a shared room. Some dormitories were even like shared suites, with four people having separate bedrooms with a shared communal living room and kitchen.
Therefore, this ordinary shared room did not seem remarkable to Claudia.
Stephanie did not know what the standard of living was like when studying at a university in Canada. When Claudia said that there was no living room in the dormitory, she was dumbfounded and asked, “Why would you need a living room in the dormitory?”
Charlie smiled and reminded her, “Stephanie, Claudia grew up in Canada. There must be many differences between the universities in Canada and Oskia. Furthermore, Canada is vast and sparsely populated, so they naturally have much more resources per capita and there’s no need for the university dormitories to be turned into rooms shared between four, six, or even eight people.
Stephanie said with a smile, “I just remembered how a dozen children and Mrs. Lewis lived in a room filled with mattresses back at the orphanage. Each person only had their own set of quilts and pillows. Back then, I thought that it would be great if I could attend university in the future. I could live in a dormitory shared between eight people and have a bed of my own, and I’d have been extremely happy even if it’s half a bunk bed. Therefore, I felt that the environment here was very good when I saw this kind of shared room for two people.”
Mrs. Lewis, who was aside, then said, “Let’s stop chatting and help Claudia make her bed first. We should also see what else is missing so we can head to the supermarket to buy whatever we need later.”
