Our S lived in Cobb this year as a Freshman and really enjoyed it, in fact he will be living there again next year. As for the Dorm itself it is recently renovated, fully air conditioned and the rooms and public spaces are nice and well maintained. He thought the location was great. Close to almost all of his classes as well as Lenior , the Pit, UL etc. Also the walk to Franklin Street is much shorter. There seemed to be plenty of Freshman in the Dorm(although perhaps a disproportionate number were Honor students and
Robertson Scholars). They had a number of social activities throughout the year and he made many friends.

With all that being said, it is quieter and less raucous then the South Campus Dorms and there are less Freshman students overall. For our S who is a bit more reserved it was a better fit. It is all Hall Style most rooms are doubles with a small number of triples. If a slightly quieter environment would fit for you Cobb is an excellent choice, but if your looking for a much more social and party atmosphere then South campus is the place to go. If you have any other questions about Cobb PM us. Our S will be done with finals and home soon so he can answer them as well.

Cobb just has a ton of events in it. The rooms are a good size and because it has a lot of freshmen it's not isolated. The location is pretty good for north - though probably the farthest away from classes of all the north campus dorms (still way closer than south campus).

I think there's a misconception. Living on north campus doesn't mean you're isolated from freshmen, and in fact a lot of my friends come hang out on north, but there are definitely north campus freshmen and south campus freshmen. I don't mean that there's a rivalry, it's just a proximity thing. North campus freshmen eat at lenoir and hang out on Franklin more, stuff like that. I'm so glad I lived on north, but wouldn't discourage anybody from living on south because of the volume of first years there. I live in Kenan and am recontracting for the same room next year.
