The University of Pennsylvania has teamed up with CollegeRoomCreator.com for an interactive site that lets incoming freshmen virtually map out their dorm rooms, customize their space and purchase supplies and furniture—all without leaving the page.
For now, the University of Pennsylvania has limited its CollegeRoomCreator.com functionality to those who live in Hill College House, although plans are in place to include the other residential halls. What a great way to take the guesswork out of packing for college!
