Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

A person can get pretty spoiled living at Beloit. Suddenly, you’re back at home wondering why you have to dial seven numbers to call your friends instead of four, why you have to use the home computer to use dial-up Internet when you could be in your room on the Internet and on the phone at the same time—and where’s the handicap button that opens the front door? Campus housing is pretty comfortable—par for going to a private school. If one were to compartmentalize the college, Peet would take on the role of ghetto, and the townhouses would be the upperclass section of town.

There aren’t really any drawbacks to living on campus, unless you hate campus. Everybody’s there, everything happens there, and you are right in the middle of it. Or, at least, definitely within bounds. The dorm rooms are big (especially if you luck out with a corner room). A couple dorms need to be renovated and probably will be in the next few years or so, but for the most part, it’s a giant lap of college-dorm luxury.

Dorm Rooms

The dorms at Beloit are pretty much hit or miss. Some of them are excellent and provide everything one could want for a dorm room, but others are not as nice, and don't adequately accommodate the college student. But regardless of the quality in comparison to the best dorms, they are still livable.

Dorms

The upperclassmen have the best dorms.Freshman dorms aren't that bad. Bushnell has split doubles and a lot of singles plus it has airconditioning. 609 and 840 are good for freshman bonding but they don't have airconditioning. Aldrich is like a hotel.

Good Housing Options

Housing at Beloit is good, the rooms are clean and nice for the most part, and it isn't hard to get a single. The 64 Halls can feel slightly cavernous, but are fine apart from Peet, the worst dorm on campus. Aldrich is often considered the best because it is the newest dorm, but it can have a slightly hotel-like feel. Wood is a great option for upperclassmen.

Did You Know? Beloit has all incoming freshmen fill out a long survey about what type of person they are (from bedtimes to favorite color) in order to come up with the best match for a roommate. It doesn't always work out, mind you, but it definitely carries more security than a random pairing.
