July 16 2008	ignatius	Okay. Seemed dated.
June 26 2008	inthemistylight	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.
April 13 2008	frogster	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)
March 26 2008	pedrossi	They weren't anything great, but they were better than the dormitories I saw at other universities in Texas.
March 20 2008	Kpearson502	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.
August 25 2007	embroglio	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.
August 23 2007	Charmelody	They're very spacious. Standard two bed, two desk, shared bathroom with one other double. Adequate space, and not "box" like.
July 27 2007	poozislove	There are a variety of dorm set-ups you can get, but the one we saw was decent sized and fairly private.
November 19 2006	dally	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!
August 10 2006	Father of the Boarder	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.
