My daughter has all her own bedding. They choose their beds/sleeping dorm with a point system. With more points, you get higher pick My daughter loves the sleeping dorm. After this semester most changed their room since girls move in and out. Now she shares her "study/hang out/dressing room with different girls this semester……such a great way to get to know a new batch of girls.
Getting back to living in….
It seems like, in my experience with my girls, living in is a privilege reserved for sophomores and juniors with enough points to live in the house. My daughter did a ton of community service in and out of her sorority to get enough points to live in. Participation in sorority events (not including any social events) was most important and quite frankly, a great way to get to know her fellow sisters. It also led to a lot of community service campus wide, since involvement in other campus service projects upped the girl's points too. Personally, I love this environment that encourages campus wide involvement and friendships and commitments outside your particular sorority. Based on what I've read, it doesn't seem like IU is very much into that philosophy and it make the exclusionary environment even worse.
No one in her house lives in senior year. They all get apartments or houses with their closer friends.
