  3. Triple Room: A triple room in a dormitory typically ranges from 250 to 350 square feet (23 to 33 square meters). We recommend using the Extra Value Moving Kit for this space.
  4. Suite-style Dorm: Suite-style dorms usually consist of two or more bedrooms, a common area, and a bathroom. The total square footage can range from 400 to 600 square feet (37 to 56 square meters) or more. We recommend using the Large Moving Kit for this space.
