First, on the n/s split. I prefer living on south campus, because its really convenient to be able to go to all the stores, restaurants and bars in Evanston. You'll go north on the weekends to party (if thats your thing), but I go into Evanston a few times a week. One exception: science people will usually want to live up north because its closer to Tech.
Allison is a big dorm, most social south campus dorm, big rooms, wireless internet, and new air conditioners. Having a dining hall in your dorm is also clutch for when you dont want to walk outside in the winter to get food. Lots of different people/majors. Walls are thick enough so if you want to study, its never a problem. ( I live in Allison).
Bobb-McCulloch is the most social dorm and one of the biggest on north campus. Trade off is the smaller rooms, a little dirtier/louder, and no AC is rough in September/May/June.
Elder is also fun, lots of people like it. Social, but you are also with just freshman.
Those are the big 3.
Slivka's rooms are really nice, but filled with studiers and is absolutely silent on the weekends.
Willard is the best of the RCs.
Hinman has in my opinion the best dining hall, and has lots of the fun people who dont party.
Everything else isnt as good as the others. |
