My dormitory looked like a fussy manor house surrounded by blooming flower bushes. It was so adorable. But there were bees by the flowers, so that was bad. The rooms were very big though.

minimal cooking facilities; No wellness housing (our guide said all are sub free; seems unlikely) Lounge in dorm was pretty pathetic - just a few chairs stuck together

Tour guide showed us his dorm. Room was small and bathroom was down the hall.

Went into one of the doubles. Big and well designed. The hallways were very large and clean.

we saw our tour guide's room - it was a medium double, seemed very liveable.

Pretty spacious seeming; they aren't brand new but are quite nice. According to the guide, the quality of dormlife varies greatly depending on which one you're assigned to.

Smaller than other dorms I've seen.

A range of older and newer dorms. Most have large lounges with big-screen TVs, public computers, kitchenettes.

The dormitory we saw had 4 bed units. It was quite adequate. There was no “theme” dorm or “freshman” dorm. My daughter likes the fact that she gets a chance to meet people from different backgrounds-e.g. not all the athletes stay by themselves

Size is probably about average for a private LAC. There is no air conditioning and the rooms are very stuffy in August, but presumably it is better during the school year.
