We asked Andover Students on how they approached designing their rooms, and why they picked that specific vibe.
Dean Yang ’27
“This room belongs to Teo Choi ’27 and me. Neither of us enjoys a cluttered mess in our rooms, preferring a minimalistic, wide-open space. Since our beds are in the smaller rooms on the side, we decided to keep the larger room open for our friends in the dorm to come visit to watch movies and other activities.”
Pragun Seth ’25
“Sunlight gives me energy, so I put my bed right next to the windows. I also put a bookshelf and family portrait next to my bed to make my dorm room feel cozier and more like home.”

“My wall reminds me of the things I love. I really enjoy watching F1, so I have a wall decorated with F1 cars. I also love music, so I put up posters of my favorite artists. I also have a light-up speaker that plays music and changes colors.”
Kai Myles ’27
“I feel very proud of my Jamaican identity, which is why I decided to center the room around who I am as a person, and where I came from. This room embodies my culture and nation and it gives me great joy working in it.”
Marisol Tang ’26
“My dorm is full of staple items that remind me of the past and fill up space to make the space less bare. I added a ton of photos from last year and this past summer with memories of me dancing and being with my family and friends. Overall, I was trying to go for a really cute and comforting room that I could come and crash in after a day at school. I have this weighted dinosaur stuffed animal that my friend got for me for my birthday that is super sentimental for me.”
