We were shown in to a freshman dorm at Jones Hall, I believe, and it was definitely spacious and nice. [View Full Report]

The dorms are crazy awesome. The students have living rooms which they share with other students, and their own bathrooms. [View Full Report]

The dorms are nice, but if you want to have your own bathroom, that may be a problem. Also, you are only guaranteed housing for 3 years. [View Full Report]

I wish I could give this 4.5 stars too. The dorms were very nice overall, though some of rooms I saw were of a lesser quality. Still very luxurious as far as college dorms go. [View Full Report]

The Residential Colleges are amazing. The dorm rooms for underclassmen are similar to what you expect a dorm to look like (at Brown). But the upperclassmen dorms buildings are amazing. [View Full Report]

We only saw one room, which was pretty standard. The high mark really has more to do with the college system itself. [View Full Report]

The dorm I stayed at in Hanszen College was definitely one of the more spacious dorms I've stayed in. Most of the residential colleges ("dorms") have been renovated. [View Full Report]

The dorms here are excellent. Each is different though depending on your college. There are some with their own baths and living rooms and others share baths with the floors. It's independent on [View Full Report]

Celings are extremely low, room is small. You have to share bathrooms with 15 other people... [View Full Report]

I'm not that big of a fan of residence halls, or maybe just not mine. The bathroom seemed very exposed to the rest of the dorm room, and I was a bit uncomfortable with that. Plus I like change. [View Full Report]

No where else have I seen students want to stay on campus four years. They love the community and the dorms. The one I stayed in was a Suite (four people = two bedrooms, a common room and a bathroom) [View Full Report]

They weren't anything great, but they were better than the dormitories I saw at other universities in Texas. [View Full Report]

The rooms I saw in Sid Richardson looked pretty standard, but rest of the building is unique. Just go and find out for yourself. Also, one dorm has a trampoline, another a great fountain. [View Full Report]

The same architecture that blesses the schools, define the residential colleges. They students are very attached to their colleges, which they are assigned and guaranteed to live in for 3 years. [View Full Report]

They're very spacious. Standard two bed, two desk, shared bathroom with one other double. Adequate space, and not "box" like. [View Full Report]

There are a variety of dorm set-ups you can get, but the one we saw was decent sized and fairly private. [View Full Report]

Love the college system. Dorm quality varies by college... but even the "worst" ones seemed pretty darn good! Some even have their own private bathroom! [View Full Report]

GOOD ones are the new ones. BAD ones are just normal older dorm rooms which o not have the amenities of today. Never will be comparable to the Harvard Yard or Yale dorms for freshmaen, but then again who is. [View Full Report]

The dorms at Rice vary. I visited Hanzen, one of the older dormitories, and it seemed to be clean and in good repair. The newer dorms looked amazing, although I did not see the inside of these. [View Full Report]
