I was on the first floor of slusher wing last year. All I can say is it is hottttttt. There is carpet like stuff on the walls that just trap in the heat. I would suggest a high quality fan (or two/three/four). The first floor is also really long and narrow and rooms are grouped into little pods of about 6 or 7. Real easy to make friends as you are in close proximity. Its not really all that comfortable (HEAT) but the pod-like structure of the rooms makes it easy to meet people. In my experience it is not one of the nicer dorms on campus but hey...its only just for a year. I believe there are two RA's on the first floor, a few small study lounges, and a big laundry room. The floors above belong to the WING program (people who want to "share" the freshman experience) and Hypatia (which is for female engineers). There is nice interaction between the floors, as in my case the RA's tried to arrange activities and events. The wing is connected to slusher tower which is 12 stories high, and there is a great big lounge in between the two where one could watch tv or study with friends. Again, in my experience it wasn't one of the nicer dorms on campus, but your experience in it is what you make of it. Hope this was somewhat helpful...
