College Students Build Tiny House ‘Dorm’ as On-Campus Living/Learning Experiment!

on December 28, 2017

This is the story of a group of Westminster College students who built a tiny house on wheels as a dorm room and as an on-campus learning and living experience.

It’s great because some students get to try out tiny living while the college also uses the structure for academic purposes. Pretty cool, right? Enjoy and learn more below and let’s hope we can inspire more schools to do the same! Thanks!

Would be even better, if the students can find a way to buy or build and own it themselves!

    Great job! I love the stairs and the railing they added. It looks “rich”! ?

    About time they started to look at doing this for students. They should be doing it at more schools.

    Totally impractical as a dorm room. Uses too much physical land for a single room.
