While i would encourage everyone to weight freshman housing very lightly (or not even at all) in making their college choice, I will say that several schools and articles make a strong case for the traditional dorm (non-suite) for freshman. The argument is that the traditional dorm hall experience creates a stronger sense of community and camaraderie and builds a stronger social base for the remainder of their years at that school. Makes sense to me, and it sounds like that is the case for my daughter one week into it, but everyone is different thankfully…
