Which ones are the best? I was looking at the pictures and Dobbs looks like it is a pretty good dorm..I also like Clairmont, but I heard that's upperclassmen only..

Clairmont is only upperclass men, and is located about two miles from the center of campus. It's basically a separate campus that is connected via a bus system.

Dobbs and Alabama are smack dab in the center of campus, but are the oldest. Dobbs is really small, and if you ask me, smells bad.

Complex and Harris are near the B-School and close to the Quad too. They are also close to the North Decatur Bldg. which is where Spanish and Education classes are held.

Longstreet and McTyerie are located right passed the DUC.

The "best" dorms for Freshmen are the newest dorms: New Turman and Freshmen I and II. I'm sre I and II will have names come next year. I and II are built right on frat row (or Eagle row to be PC) and overlook the field.

New Turman is right behind the DUC. All 3 of these new bldgs are really nice.

In the end, you don't get to pick which bldg you live in. You do get to pick single/double and co-ed or single sex.

dont live in dobbs....live in the newest dorm as possible

Dobbs has the best community, but the smallest rooms. It's all about compromise.

I've applied for the Dorm yesterday but I realized that I can't really choose specific dorm, I can only choose "single sex floor" or "doubles room" for example. Is there a way to choose specific dorm?

ahhhhhhhhhh

I went on the tour, and they said no. Hopefully the new freshman dorms...they are "green safe"...seems like Emory is very "green"

Nogueira

i think the newer the dorm is, the better it usually is, so i'd say the new turman(?) is the best dorm since it opened like last year or something

dgebll

or the one of the two new ones opening in the fall. they are unnamed as of yet.

Anonymous99

They won't be named until someone donates enough money. Until then, they are going to be known as Buildings (or Freshmen) II and III or LG (Living Green...or Life's Good) or unofficially, Swoop and Dooley.

dgebll

where did you hear that? they named freshman I "Turman" and no one named Turman donated money. They will probably be Gilbert and Thomson or Means and Longstreet because they have been/will be torn down before II and III opens.

So I'm guessing if I put coed grouped and double, I'll have a pretty good chance of getting into one of the new dorms?

dgebll

if you apply for the FYE Green living program and get accepted then yes

LiLu

Can you tell me a little more about the FYE Green living program? I googled it but did not find much info.

dgebll, I am a member of ResLife who will be living in Building II next year...my boss told me this information.

dgebll

haha that's such an Emory move. The confusion during move-in is going to be hilarious.
