College Prowler Take
Non-commuting freshmen are required to live on campus, and this is a good thing, as it’s the best way to get sucked into the Juniata bubble and meet the people who will become your family over the next few years. There’s an RA for every floor of every building to help you if needed, and most are laid-back and pretty cool about helping you with your woes. The rooms can be a bit cramped at times, especially in Sunderland with its extra furniture. If you’re a girl with tons of stuff and you don’t mind a bit of estrogen overload, head to Lesher—the rooms are bigger and there’s plenty of closet space. Tussey and Terrace are usually freshman favorites, and have the nicest bathrooms on campus. Listen to the students who tell you to stay away from Sherwood. When you’re an upperclassman, you’ll probably want to head to Cloister or South. They both have great atmosphere, Cloister because it’s older, centrally located, character-laden, and exclusive to upperclassmen, and South because the ladies and the gents live side-by-side and it has the largest rooms by far. Most of the seniors who stay on campus live in these two places. Finally, all dorms are only a short walk from all the key places on campus, except for East, which is a bit farther away. East is the requisite party dorm; it’s fine if you want to experience life in a suite with seven other people, but weekends there are loud, which prompts many to choose just to party there, and live somewhere else.

I lived in Lesher (the all-girls dorm) for two years, and while it has some of the bigger rooms, I didn’t like it that much. It’s an older building and has stricter rules than the other dorms. I also lived in Cloister, which is the oldest dorm, but it has a lot of character and is located right in the middle of campus. The rooms are tiny, but still sought after by upperclassmen. My senior year I lived in Mission, which is one of the college-owned off-campus houses. There were five of us in the apartment, but we had our own living room, bathroom, and kitchen. I’d definitely recommend living there if you can. |

The dorms are fine. I am not very familiar with them except for East and North. I would definitely recommend living in East with seven other friends if you have the opportunity. It will help give you the Juniata experience in full effect. |

The dorms are pretty nice compared to other campuses I’ve seen. Avoid North and Sherwood at all costs. Girls, Lesher has the biggest rooms and biggest closets. South is always fun. |

The dorms aren’t that bad. This summer there has been a lot of renovation to a few of them, replacing the floors and the showers and putting in new windows. Probably things that students don’t really notice or care aboutOverall the rooms are a pretty decent size. There really isn’t any dorm to avoid. |

TnT is the cleanest dorm, South is one of the fun dorms (guys and girls living on the same hall), and East is where most of the parties are. |

Did You Know?All Juniata housing is smoke free.
Sunderland was formerly called “North Hall,” and many students today still refer to it as such.
Cloister is home to legend and tradition alike, as Storming of the Arch and the annual Haunted House occur in and around its walls. This is also the dorm where you’ll find the requisite rumors of a friendly campus ghost, though whether this is actually true remains to be seen—or heard.
All students in campus housing receive free cable.
