Alfa147x's ghetto fabulous crib! UPDATED!

[coldmeat]

Yeah my girlfriend has her own apartment style place on campus
Kitchen area (no stove) full fridge
living room
one bed room
and bathroom
=$2900 per semester

I pay $1650

I'm paying 4k a semester, but I was away from school last semester and couldn't get here to find a place so I had to stay here. I'm not going to do it again though, way too much $. I don't have my own place though, I have 3 roommates.

Back to the wall paper idea. You can get some darker colored butcher paper (like they use in high school for signs). Dark blue or something would be nice. Just tape it to the wall nice, buy a few rolls of tape.

I like it.

Maybe a lava lamp? :awe:

u have a bed, a PC/printer/wireless router and a place to hang clothes. A nice house is overrated, all that's missing is a shitter and a microwave. I would love to live in a place like that. Would be hella easy to keep clean, and OP can still get chicks to come over. If a female is just looking for sex and not a future husband his abode will be plenty fine. And if she wants a future husband she'll see a dude doing what he has to do make it thru college. A win/win, I especially like how no space = no mess.

*EDIT*

shit, just re-looked and there's a microwave under the printer right on! you should get a super small desktop fridge, set it next to your laptop or something.

If you want to mess around with colors buy one of these

(or a more expensive one), put it in a desk lamp and aim it at the ceiling. The white walls should reflect the color nicely.

Thats a good idea, too bad I dont want to spend that much $$ on this

Go jack a plasma screen from the student commons and drill it into the wall. Then proceed to install huge 5.1 surround system and annoy the fuck out of everyone around you

(This actually happened at my university)

Oh and you can't hear shit through these walls, once my fire alarm went off and I walked of to my RA's room (right next to me) and he didnt even hear it!

Rasterbate some wall art:

Its small enough, just get some red velour bed sheets, a red light, some lava lamps and invite your girlfriend over

Have some pictures printed 18x24 for $2 each. Shipping is a flat $10 no matter how much you order. So order a bunch of different prints at once to get your money's worth on shipping and cover your walls with your favorite shots.

You ever order anything from them? I'm curious on the quality because that's a great price.

Does it smell like wet mop in there?

Nope can't say that I have. I haven't picked out enough good pictures from my stash to make the shipping worth while. I figure once I've got 10 good pictures set aside I'll pull the trigger.

But if you google "shortrunposters.com review" there are some pretty informative posts. Mostly positive especially considering the price.

It did but they did a deep cleaning one day and its fine now

That room is just screaming for old Soviet propaganda posters. It already has the East European design sense :^D
