Luciana E. Milano '14
In this series, we highlight decorative student dorm rooms deserving of special mention. If you think your room is fit to be profiled, let us know! The first thing that you'll notice as you step into the dorm room of Luciana E. Milano '14 in Pforzheimer House is that it is much more than a mere room. "The theme is homey," Milano said.

"It's just somewhere to relax, pray, or meditate. Sometimes I'll wake up in the morning and play soft music, brew my coffee, and do my morning prayers. It's a great way to start the day."
