I too am in the same situtation. I do have friends there and have been in teh dorms. They are a decent size bigger than some others i have seen but eh size varies from building to building and room to room as everything is quite old. I did however find a post on Princeton Review that answers some questions.

How are the dorms?

Humphreys: My personal favorite, and home to the big screen TV which tinges everything slightly greenish and a pool table in the basement, as well as the campus bookstore. The rooms are square-ish, which seems to lend itself better to giving each person their own space. Occasional mouse problems, but nothing major–just don’t leave food out over vacations, put it in plastic bins, a refrigerator or microwave, anything not easily chewed through. Civil war ghosts may or may not haunt the first floor, I’ve never heard anything definite.

Campbell: Where they put the prospies (prospective students). Basement holds foosball tables as well as most of the washers and dryers on campus (the others are in Chase Stone). Rooms are longer and skinnier, so they have a slightly more closed in feel. Has a tendency to smell when it gets hot, something to do with the way they did the plumbing when they put singles in the basement.

Randall: Upside, you’re in the same building as the dining hall. Downside, you’re in the same building as the dining hall. You still have to go outside to get to the dining hall, but you get the joys of possible roaches and more crampt rooms. The boys’ floor also boasts a newly refurbished room thanks to Mr. Zweibel and the still smoldering cigarette he left in a trash can when he went to play ping pong in the gym. The photo of his charred books made a compelling cover photo for the Gadfly, our school paper.

Chase Stone: Not really a freshman dorm, though it does house the overflow if there are too many incoming freshmen to be accommodated in the other three. Rooms have their own thermostats, but room shapes don’t lend themselves well to triples.

Pinkney, Paca, Gilliam, and the soon to be opened Specter are not open to freshmen, and hold mostly singles and split doubles.

They answer a few other questions to. http://discuss.princetonreview.com/tm.asp?m=7024223
