Court Hall?

Court Hall, and all of CKB for that matter, is pretty fantastic (though I must admit I am a tad biased, as I did live on 4th floor Bauer last year). Like Feral said, it’s one of the newest dorms, which means, among other things, that you are blessed with air-conditioning. Having spent a summer living in Donlon and visited my friends at American and Northeastern, I can honestly say that it’s one of the nicest college dorms I’ve seen. Five people (2 doubles + 1 single) share one bathroom, which is very convenient. Each floor has its own study lounge, and depending on your floor, you may have a kitchen/TV lounge…those on the 4th floor miss out on a TV lounge, but are compensated with easier access to the SKYBRIDGE. Plus, it doesn’t require too much effort to walk down one flight of stairs to use the kitchen/TV.

Court Hall itself is nice because it’s the closest of the three to Donlon and Nasties. 4-Court, for the record, is the only all-guys hall on campus. All the RAs I know who are returning to CKB are really great people, so you shouldn’t have a problem there. Oh, and each hall typically has 31-32ish people on it, give or take. Bauer has its own laundry room, and Court/Kay share one.

Another great aspect of CKB is the Faculty-In-Residence, Francis and Phiroze, who you will probably meet on the first day of Orientation. They are an amazing couple, and plan lots of ice cream/exotic food socials for everyone in CKB to partake in. I highly recommend going–the socials are a good way to meet people, the food is delicious, and overall it’s just nice to take a break from studying/homework.

Anyway, that’s an overview of CKB. Definitely let me know if you have any more questions/concerns, and I’ll do my best to help!
