    Peek Inside This WashU Sophomore’s Cozy, Boho Dorm Filled with Handmade Wall ArtDorm Decor
    Amanda Lee (@mandy.k.lee on TikTok), a sophomore biology major at Washington University in St. Louis, hadn’t seen her 85-square-foot room (a single within a suite) before moving in, but she knew she was going to have much more wall space to work with than she’d had freshman year. So, she got to work making her own wall art to fill up the blank space: collages, watercolors, and plenty of photos now help her space completely reflect her personal style. How did you find this space?
