hello! im a fellow '12 so i don't know much about EW from PERSONAL experience, but i did visit it during dimensions and i had a really good impression of it. two '10s living in EW showed me around - the dorms were pretty spacious and nice, and there were plenty of restrooms in each floor and everything was really clean (always a plus). they did warn me,however, that EW people tend to be labeled as secluded, even antisocial types (even tho its not always true) just becus it tends to be quieter and far away from the parties and the green.
pros: one of the newest dorms on campus, nice clean rooms and common areas, right in front of the gym
cons:far away from most dining areas, far from frat row (and thus parties), the extra application u need to fill out
it's also substance-free (which, depending on ur preference, could be a pro or a con)
ive had to debate about this for a while - and i still am - but i think im leaning towards all-freshman housing just becus it's the first year and you want to get to know as many people as possible and get involved in as many activities as possible (even if that means constant disruptions and older dorms)
hope this helped
