College Prowler Take
Your residential experience at Alfred will vary greatly according to where you live. It’s mandatory for students to remain on campus until their junior year. Openhym is the largest and the most social. It tends to house the most art students. The rooms have dividers to add an extra hint of privacy. The rest of the freshman dorms (Tefft, Baressi, Cannon, and Reimer) are smaller with larger doubles. These are cozier. Although most students are pleased to leave the freshman dorms behind, many miss the sense of community they provided. Students who stay on campus as upperclassmen have the option of the Brick, Pine Hill Suites, Kruson, Bartlett Hall, or the Ford Street Apartments. The majority settle in Bartlett Hall, the Suites, or the Kruson. Special-interest houses are very selective and only house five to six students. The suites have kitchens, but the doubles are too small. With its spacious rooms and quaint wood floors, the Brick is the most popular. The building is ancient and has a ton of character. It may also be haunted. The Ford Street apartments experience less paranormal activity. These are strictly for juniors and seniors and resemble the suites. The kitchens are huge. The only way to get in is to get a posse together and lobby like hell about a year in advance. Students Speak Out

The dorms can also use some work. The freshman dorms are a little bit old, but the apartments are a little nicer. You have your own facilities like a little kitchen and bathroom, and people take more care of it than they do in the dorms. |

Dorms are nice, more room than most dorms. Watch out for stupid roommates! Don’t live in the sophomore suites! |

Freshman dorms are all pretty much the same, but Cannon is definitely the worst. How good a freshman dorm is mostly depends on the people living there. The Brick is by far the best place to live on campus. It has big rooms, wood floors, and is a beautiful building. But most people can’t get into it until at least junior year. |

The dorms are not nice at all. Very old and mostly out-of-date with the times. As a freshman, I’d go for Openhym, but it’s pretty loud there. |

Did You Know?
Built in 1858, the Brick is listed in the National and State Historical Register. It has been used as a boarding house, gymnasium, and even an infirmary after WWI. All this history has left the Brick literally “haunted by it’s past.” There are many accounts of paranormal encounters in its halls. In 2004, all residence halls and immediate areas were made smoke-free.
