Who has the coolest room on the IU Bloomington campus?

'The Real World' at Indiana University




Elise LeBlanc from Carmel, that’s who. She’s the winner of the second annual “Cool Room” contest sponsored by IUB’s Residential Programs and Services (RPS).

LeBlanc is a spatial genius. It’s true. She somehow managed to create three distinct living areas in her room—an office for school work, a kitchen/dining room for the obvious and a living room/bedroom for lounging. Never has a space so compact (approximately 10 feet by 13 feet) been made so comfortable, functional and attractive. It’s almost like home.

Even more impressive is the fact that LeBlanc’s room was no shoo-in for first place.

Fifty-two rooms were judged by administrators from RPS and students living in the residence halls. Each dwelling was a testament to creativity and the human desire for a comfortable space of one’s own.

Actually, every room was a winner. All entrants received tickets to Les Miserables at the IU Auditorium, a pizza party or a “photofrost” cake from Ambrosia Catering and Bakery, a unit of RPS Dining Services.

Take an on-line peek, with pictures and audio, at 11 of the contest’s finalists.
