Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

As a whole, most of the dorms on Emory’s campus are nice but not too special. Each dorm has its differences from the next, and some are better than others in terms of location, etc. Of the freshmen dorms, Dobbs is the most centrally located, Complex is the closest to the library, New Turman and McTyeire are the closest to the DUC, and Few and Evans are closest to McDonough Field. Complex is made up of three dorms, one of which is all-female. Overall, students would agree that Emory’s newest freshman dorms, New Turman and Few/Evans, are by far the best quality buildings. In fact, one could liken them to a hotel rather than a dormitory.

Incoming freshmen can specify which type they would like to live in (coed by room, coed by floor, coed by hall, etc.). To get into New Turman or Few/Evans, students must write an essay to participate in the programs that each building is associated with (New Turman’s is called Citizenship, while Few/Evans have a sustainability program called Living Green). Each floor has two Sophomore Advisors and a Resident Advisor who are there to help you out and get you in trouble at the same time. Every dorm has a Residence Hall Director, but this person is rarely seen unless you misbehave. Emory is also in the process of creating a “Freshmen Village”, a grouping of new dorms that will allow incoming freshmen to all live together in close proximity to each other. For the most part, Emory’s dorms are standard, although the new buildings are really outstanding.

Freshman Year Experience Rocks!!!

Freshman housing is the best!!! It is themed to encourage community building. I am currently in one of many new residence halls Fevans, and I love it. The theme is green housing for sustainability. Next year I will continue living green at Woodruff Residence hall! There are many options for room types including community bathrooms, suites and apartments. A perk of the community style is that you don't have to clean a bathroom and the staff does an excellent job of cleaning for the students.
