I don't know how much time you've spent in college dorm rooms, but
some of them are pretty small and will typically house 2 and sometimes
3 students. Space is at a premium.

Only about 4 years...

Both of my daughters have their beds "lofted" so that they can use the
area underneath for a futon. Since their beds are essentially the
highest surface level in the room, there really aren't "about 1000
other ways to position a clock radio so it is accessible from a bed" -
at least not in a location where it can easily be set/snoozed/reset
with a simple reach of the hand.

Had a loft in the dorm room for two years, so I know all about it. The
platforms on mine were about 12" wider than the mattresses. Plus we
had a shelf that ran between the bed platforms on the window end of
the room. Plenty of places to put a clock radio without fretting over
an impossible task. I had my stereo and my meager CD collection up
there too.

Heck, you can even screw the shelf to the loft. Fasten an upright post
in the corner and put the shelf on the post.
