What size flag for a dorm room
By Connor Huss · Updated
3 by 5 feet, which is 36 by 60 inches. That is the standard flag size, and it fits the wall above a dorm bed almost exactly. Smaller gets lost on the wall. Bigger runs into the window or the closet door.

36 inches tall and 60 inches wide. Hung above a bed, it spans most of the bed and stops short of the corners.
Measure before you buy
Measure the clear wall between the window, the closet and the ceiling. You need 60 inches across and 36 inches down. In most dorms the wall above the bed is the one that fits.
