College Prowler Take
There are positive and negative aspects to each dorm. You must make a decision based upon your preferences and priorities. Your academic and social life will not be solely determined by which dorm you are assigned to, and you will be able to make friends no matter where you go. Make sure you understand the rules and regulations of living in each dorm before you arrive. Some of them are rather strict and may catch you off guard. The dorms have somewhat improved over the last several years. Air conditioning seemed to be one of the biggest complaints. Many of the dorms have working air-conditioners, as well as new windows now, which will pay off from August until the middle of October. Just because you request a dorm does not mean you will ultimately be assigned to that dorm. Since there is no perfect dorm, and none that can really be a huge pain, try to make the most of whatever situation you have and make new friends. Students Speak Out

For a freshman, Humes, South Carrick, and Morrill are all great. Avoid Clement if you aren’t into the old-building feel, and know that Humes has the best staff. |

Hess has a reputation for being a bit loud, but it is close to the library. When you have studying to do, you can be in the library in a few minutes. Everyone in Hess seems to know everyone, and a lot of people really enjoy living there if they can weather the occasional craziness. |

The dorms provide a good experience. If you like to be more social, try South Carrick or Humes. Morrell is too far away. Hess and Melrose are the closest to classes. It seems like anyone who randomly gets put in any dorm always raves about how it’s the best, but I would avoid the ones across the street, like Clement, because they’re too far. |

The dorms are a lot of fun! I stayed in Hess, and even though I didn’t choose it in my top three preferences, I wouldn’t change it for the world. All the dorms are ‘nice’—they are small and sometimes have community bathrooms, but that isn’t a big deal at all. They keep the bathrooms really clean. Half of the time I felt safe going barefoot. |

The dorms aren’t that bad—they’re not luxurious by any means, but they’re cool. I stayed in Clement Hall last year, which wasn’t too bad. Hess is probably the worst, with community bathrooms and the smallest rooms, which means the least amount of privacy if you have a boyfriend. |
