Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The dorms at Alverno are extremely spacious and have high ceilings and large windows. The rooms in Austin Hall all have built-in shelving units, drawers, spacious closets, and a sink accompanied by shelves and cupboards, so students do not have to bring as much of their own furniture or storage containers. Rooms also come equipped with cable and Internet hookups, as well as a microwave and mini-fridge—for no extra charge. Austin Hall is a community, and students from all different years live together on wings.

Currently, Clare Hall is going through renovations that will eventually make living there awesome. Students will have their own fitness center, computers labs, and laundry facilities on each floor. Each room will be a suite and have the same accommodations as Austin, but more updated. Living on campus is quite convenient and is not just for students who are right out of high school. Clare Hall offers students of all ages a place to live that still gives them freedom, as well as the convenience of living on campus. Some downsides to living on campus are that there's no air conditioning, less freedom if you live in Austin Hall, and you live with women all day, every day.

Don't Live in the Dorms

But my classmates who do don't complain! There are coffee shops hosting regular events in the two dorm buildings. Students have a choice of a single or double in rooms.

Living on Campus

The dorms at Alverno College in Austin Hall for freshman are pretty standard. The dorms at Clare Hall are a little more classy and better equipped. But either way, living on campus is a great experience all around.

I Do Not Live on Campus

Although i do not live on campus, I did take a tour a few weeks ago. The dorms aren't very modern, the school itself is very old. What I did like about the dorms, is that they are very close to the school. Everything is so close together making it convenient to get to and from school fairly quick.
