> One summer, I took classes at another college, and the dorm room was Z-shaped. Odd, but it gave more privacy to the occupants.

My freshman & soph years I was in a dorm room like that & the extra bit of privacy was nice. The closets were on the “inner” sides of the arms of the Z, across from the beds. The main part of the Z had the door on one end, the window on the other, desks, a bureau and a built-in shelf.
