Most colleges do this you just have to be persistant in asking about it.  They fill up really quickly from what I understand.  I live in MO. and MSU, CMSU, and MU all offer family dorms.  Check out the websites of the colleges you are considering, they should tell you what you want to know

Under the bed bins are great!  You might also want to look for things that can do double duty, like a chest that can double as a coffee table.  Over the door racks for shoes work great for storing odds and ends like hair brushes, makeup, or whatever.  Try and use your wall space too, if you can by putting up shelves.  The more things up can put up off the floor the better.\n\nAs far was things to ask, if you have any interests or sports that you do, ask about those and see if they have teams/organizations to participate in.  Ask what the student body is like, you'll find out more general information about the people on campus.  Ask about requirments, it's always a good idea to have the classes you'll have to take in mind when planning out what to take.  I guess this is a little more like stuff you might ask when going to college, but I think it works for you situation too.

Yes, to everything.  It doesn't matter if your university will provide them.  They will break at the most inopportune times (assuming they worked in the first place and were not horded by roommates)  Don't bring to much for the space, but try to bring everything of your own that you use on a regular basis.  It makes living away from home feel so much better.  And if you can afford I suggest going out and buying new things rather than bringing Mom and Dad's hand-me-downs.  I know for me that I felt more grown up and mature and a little more ready for college because of it.  But not everyone can afford that.  I understand.  I reccommend bringing creature comforts in every way.  College is stressful, your dorm room should not add to it. In fact your room should be a haven for you, that reminds you of home (or if you don't like home, feels like your very own home and not just a room you are borrowing for a semester or eight.

If you are seriously interested in having a summer job start applying now before college students are back.  My first jobs were at the mall.  I worked in the food court and at a department store.  I also worked at a couple restaurants.  Made great money as a server.  You could be a server or hostess at a restaurant, or a cashier at just about any store.  Many places hire just for summer.  The key is getting the job before a college student does.

I've worked in interior design.  I would suggest you take all the geometry classes that you can.. In interior design you're going to have to learn computer aided drafting, and geometry is the foundation of CAD and any space planning.  It sounds hard, but it's all about "thinking spacially" -seeing things in three dimensions and being able to judge distances.  Interior design isn't just about matching colours and textures and furniture shopping.  It's like fitting puzzle pieces.  Once you have a general idea of the furniture that the customer wants in the room, you have to figure out where and how to place the items to best utilize the space.  You'll want to take some art classes too, mostly drawing with lead and pen & ink.  It's a great profession, I love it.  If you want to begin studying on the side, you should grab up some books on computer aided drafting.  Maybe see if you'd be able to take some CAD courses at the local community college.  Some community colleges will let you take courses beginning when you're 16.

i'm an interior design student in va.  its a lot different then i thought it would be but i still love it\ndon't do it just cause it seems fun and interesting because there is a lot of work that goes into interior designing...building codes, architecture, drafting, buisness procedures, working with contractors, sub-contractors...\nthen you have to decide which type of design you want to do commercial, residential, hospitality, etc...\nthere is also a lot of art experience required like drawing perspectives and working with autocad...\nbottom line is lots of people get interior design and interior decorating confused\nthey are not the same!

Yes, it is a fantastic idea. It gives you experience in the field and can look great on the resume. Besides, a lot of employers are interested in experienced individuals unless you go through the career services office or job fairs at the college. Also, if you are interested in working at a job while in college, the best thing you could do for your career is to work in the field in some capacity.

Probably none.  I've never seen a community college or tech school offer dorms.  If you want to get a degree in plumbing and live on campus you should search for a university that offers the degree - many Universities grant Associates degrees as well as Bachelors'.

As a student a call centre job is fine as it gives you the liberty to suit your study timings and the days in a week you can work.Also you can earn well in a call centre and support your lifestyle but after engineering you should look for IT jobs..its the best option for you.

Of course!  But you should continue your studies to get a Bachelor's.\n\nSuggestion, check if any on-campus jobs may be open, you can work on-campus and go to class too.  It does not pay very well, but at least you can live off of it.

Another option would be to study an emerging field, called 'interior architecture'.  It is based more in structural and scientific issues than interior designing. \n\nI am a licensed architect in Pennsylvania, and I can tell you that the money is not fantastic, but it can be very personally fulfilling.  If you are not sure, I would recommend not enrolling in a 5-year preprofessional program as that is best suited for individuals that are certain they want to be architects.  \n\nOne of the best programs I know of for individuals who are interested in architecture and design is that at Kansas State University.  Students spend the first year or two taking generalized design courses for architects, urban designers, and interior architects, and then later apply to the field that best suits them.  (This is not my alma mater.)\n\nGood luck.

Depends on where you stay. If it's Mumbai, then try JJ School of Arts. Any other city in India, do a search for Interior Design colleges. Also try to get an internship at a popular interior designer in your city.
