The best loft I saw during college days was a double loft. If you and your roomate can get together and do it, it's definately the way to go for space and sturdiness. You start with a post in each corner of the room, and attach them along the ceiling with four more boards, so you have a square frame on four room height legs. On the two long edges, you'll build a frame for the bed hanging from your initial structure. after that, just slap a couple supports diagnally from the base of the 'basket' to the supporting legs of the loft. Sorry I don't know board sizes here. This took most of a day to build, with 4 people working. They brought all the materials and did everything from cutting to assembly on sight, which seems the easiest way to go for this loft. Well worth the work though, as a typical dormroom will be left with room for 2 desks, a couch, larger than avg fridge, and enough room for a small entertainment center.
