Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Dorm rooms at SU are larger than most, with plenty of closet space. However, some dorm rooms are better than others. Hassinger Hall, a freshman dorm, has rooms that are far smaller than any other dorm on campus, and West Hall does not have air conditioning. Microwaves are not allowed in dorm rooms, but there is usually one per floor, which is much more convenient than it sounds and means that rooms never reek of burnt popcorn (but the hallway will).

In recent years, the trend of putting freshmen in forced triples has increased, but this setup is doable after a little experimenting with bed and desk placements. Overall, the rooms (excepting Hassinger) are large and airy, especially if there are only two students living there. Certain dorms also have reputations, particularly those that house freshmen. Seibert Hall is quiet with residents who rarely cause trouble. Smith Hall is the polar opposite: it is loud and full of rowdy students, and a rule is always being broken. But regardless, students manage to have fun wherever they live.

Small Catch

The freshmen dorms are right at the heart of campus, and there is literally an option for everyone. The only minus to these is that there has not been WiFi, though it may be fixed next year. Upper class housing is similar, with even more options.

Conveinent Dorms

Aikens hall is near the campus center which houses three food locations and a computer lab. Reed hall is close to the campus center and music building. Smith hall is near the gym. Hassinger hall is inbetween the gym and library, but the dorm rooms are the smallest. Seibert hall is closest to the science buildings. North hall is closest to the newest science building, but has thin walls.

Close to Class

All the dorms are pretty decent, but the best options are Seibert and West Village. They aren't available for freshmen, though, so a newcomer's best option is either Reed or Aikens. No matter which dorm you're in, it will never take you more that 15 minutes to get to class.
