Towers and Castillian are private dorms. Towers is a couple of blocks off campus (west campus), is mostly guys, and a large group of them go greek. It has the reputation as a party dorm, but my son lived there last year and did just fine - the walls are cinder block, so not a lot of noise goes through them. Castillian is a little bit closer, just off Guadalupe. It is more of a mix of people, but it has a horrible reputation of things breaking down - like the elevators.

Both are a bit more expensive than most dorms (excluding Duren and San Jacinto), but they offer a bit more. There are different floor plans, but each suite has a kitchen, breakfast area and den. My son’s suite had 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and living quarters, and I think it ran around $9000 for the year, including the full meal plan. He really enjoyed living there, met a lot of great people, said the food was decent, and it was an overall good experience.

My son #3 will be living there (hopefully - got to keep the grades up) in the fall of 2010.
