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.

Clairmont

Clairmont is amazing because of the SAAC convenience, parking, kitchen-apartments, and accessibility to campus with the cliff shuttles. Living here next year!

Living on Clairmont Campus

Housing and facilities on Clairmont are great. The apartments, aside from the Tower, have everything you need. In the URC, the single bedrooms are a decent size, there are washing machines and dryers in each apartment, etc.

Depends

The housing depends greatly. The newer freshman dorms and upperclass halls like Clairmont are great, but the older freshman dorms(Trimble, McTeiyre, Dobbs)are very out of date. One of my friends discovered mold growing in his room at Dobbs. Pretty gross especially for a school such as Emory.
