My son lived in Allen Hall during freshman and sophomore years before getting an apartment during junior year. He loved it. He is an engineering major. The three engineering students that he is sharing an apartment with now also were from Allen Hall. He also liked that Allen Hall is close to one of the athletic facilities. My son is not a big partier but made a lot of friends at Allen. He read the descriptions of all of his housing options and Allen Hall ended up being his first choice. It was a very good fit for him.
