In my opinion, 8/Oakes has the best food.
In terms of on-campus parties, probably Porter/Kresge. But I find that a lot of people from all the colleges go off campus if you want a bigger party.
Yes, unless you live on a single-gender floor/hall. Then it’s supposed to be a single-gender bathroom. And yes, they do get gross. But that’s expected when you’re sharing it with some 25+ other people.
They are really nice. At least at Porter they are. There’s generally plenty of space, and it’s great because they can fit a lot of people in them. So if you and a bunch of friends want to hang out but not go off campus, you can get away with a lot by living in a triple or quad.
I’m at Porter. Right now I’m living in an apartment and last year I was in the B building dorms. I love it because of the people. Most people are really friendly and open to making new friends, etc. I don’t like the transfer community. I feel like it completely changed the atmosphere of Porter. Also, it can get pretty loud, especially if you have a room that faces the quad. But I find that to be less of a nuisance because it’s sort of fun to have that “dorm experience”.
