Dorm Layouts

Does anyone else find the dorm layouts strange? I'm in Drake Hall at the moment and I can't stand the way the bathroom is in the middle of an open plan area. I also I keep trying to make my sim watch tv whilst eating the free food brought by her roommates, and she just won't do it. She'd rather sit at a desk! I think I will have to try making dorms myself, with a better layout, because this is just weird! I want proper sitting rooms and dining rooms, and study rooms. Also, single occupancy bedrooms!

I am enjoying the pack, but the dorm layout is weird to me! I haven't looked at the other dorms very much, to be honest. Are any of them laid out any better?

That bothered me too as I watched the Game Changer videos.
I still don't like it. The elevator bothers me too because it cuts down on your awarness of other sims coming and going.
They just teleport into the center of the space and you might not notice.

When I get around to redesigning them, I will put the elevator near the exterior wall and give sims a corridor to walk down so it is obvious who is coming and going. The bathrooms will be place next to it so they are away the center of the room and I can have a nice common area.
I will also have two levels, a study and activity area on the lower level and bedrooms on the upper level.

I am currently finishing up my custom dorm and will be testing it today.
I am really curious as to how sims will behave in it.
