Current Bing student here. Here’s basically the run down of all the dorms:

Newing
-rebuilt between 2009-2011
-“corridor style” (3 double rooms share two half bathrooms - 1 with a sink & shower, 1 with a sink & toilet)
-typically a greek life type of setting; lots of students there are in frats and sororities
-overall, nice dorms

Dickinson
-rebuilt between 2011-2013 (with the exception of Old Digman aka Health and Wellness Community)
-“suite/flat style” (4 single rooms share two full bathrooms OR 2 doubles and 1 single share two full bathrooms)
-really nice dorms and convenient location to center of campus

College in the Woods
-built in the 70s and renovated in the past few years (with the exception of Oneida which hasn’t been renovated and Mohawk which was built in 2000)
-“suite and traditional style” (double rooms, or 4-6 person suites with a bathroom)
-very woods-like and rural feel
-somewhat convenient and located centrally, but a lot of steps to move through the community

Hinman
-built in the 60s, beginning renovation process now (one building is currently being renovated)
-very spirited community and a strong sense of community and belonging
-right near the Lecture Hall and other buildings where a lot of classes are held
-community dining hall is closed for right now but will reopen in either fall 2020 or 2021
-“suite style” (4-6 person suites with a bathroom)

Mountainview
-built in the early 2000s
-“suite style and triples” (6 person suites with 1 or 2 bathrooms OR triples with 1 bathroom)
-beautiful, scenic view of the campus landscape
-the most “elevated” community on campus and is a bit far from the central part of campus
