What are the four options that are available to freshmen at SU these days? When I was there, it was Smith, Hassinger, Reed, and Seibert…but then again, that was before the West Village was built.

Speaking of my time there, Reed (and Aikens - which is pretty much a mirror image of Reed) were both good. They are smaller than Smith, so a lot of close friendships happen there. Hassinger is about the same, still a fairly small community, and close-knit friendships there as well. Smith is quite large and is a great place for a freshman to be too.

My freshmen year, I lived in Seibert. It was a very small freshmen population there, but I am still friends with pretty much everyone that was in the building with me. Even if your son doesn’t get his first choice, it’s not the end of the world. The campus is small enough that a two minute walk gets you to another building to hang out and meet others.
