Many students like to maximize their usable space in student rooms by incorporating lofts or bunks for their beds. A loft is a bed that is raised so that a student may place their desk or other furniture underneath to maximize space. A bunk is when two beds are stacked on top of each other. Please review below to learn what options we provide for your room assignment.
Housing Provided Loft & Bunk Kits
Price
The loft or bunk nonrefundable rental fee is $220.00 which is charged to the student's OSU account upon confirmation of the request. For a bunk bed request, the $220 rental fee will be split between the two roommates so that each student is charged $110. Bunk bed requests will be confirmed only after both roommates submit a request.

Loft Dimensions are approximately: H=6', L=7', W=3'
Complimentary Lofts and Bunks
Some rooms require lofted and bunked beds as part of the room configuration and do not incur a loft charge. All triple rooms come with one lofted bed, and two beds bunked.

Based upon availability loft and bunk kids will be place placed in the student’s room before the school year begins. If there are no available loft or bunk kits, the student will be placed on the waitlist which continues into the school year. If a loft or bunk kit becomes available, the first student on the list will be notified via ONID email and will have 48 hours to accept.
Additional Loft & Bunk Information
- A loft is a bed that is raised so that a student may place their desk or other furniture underneath to maximize space. A bunk is when two beds are stacked on top of each other.
