I stayed in a very nice, new dorm. Other visiting students told me their dorms were less desirable. [View Full Report]

We weren't shown a dorm for "security reasons". [View Full Report]

Not sure how they compare but they seemed very livable. [View Full Report]

I stayed in PARC, a residential college, rather than a traditional dorm. The rooms were fairly small, but I loved the atmosphere. Everyone in the RC seemed very close. [View Full Report]

Average-sized dorms. They don't have air conditioning, but I'm sure that doesn't affect the students too much during the year. [View Full Report]

Nothing spectacular, but i've seen worse. Allison hall seemed to be the nicest freshman dorm. All of them are small though and have communal bathrooms w/ pretty good dining halls [View Full Report]

Bobb has pretty crappy facilities and small rooms, and Hinman has a terrible cafeteria, at least compared to some other schools I visited. [View Full Report]

NU isn't notorious for having the greatest and newest hotel-like dorms, but the ones I visited were very clean and well maintained. [View Full Report]

Typical college dorms, which I'm fine with (I don't like places that are too new). [View Full Report]

Looked nice from the outside; I saw a few Frats too (40% of student body is in frats/sororities). Interesting fact: Frats and Sororities are exactly 1 mile apart [View Full Report]

The one we visited seemed to be the average college dormitory. [View Full Report]

It was small, old, HOT and depressing. I'm sure it would be a little better if the windows were open and fans were going. [View Full Report]

We went into a "suite" & it was cool, but the rooms were kind of small. There was two common rooms & it was nice. [View Full Report]

Nice enough from the outside, but did not tour inside so I cannot judge. [View Full Report]

Really depends on which dorms you see. All are very different. Willard and Allison on south side are nice, big rooms for a dorm. North side was alright, older dorms so less well-kept. [View Full Report]

Only saw two, but they were very nice for being two of the oldest on campus. They were also larger so it was understandable that they would be slightly unkempt. [View Full Report]
