The residence folks were disorganized when my D was a freshman in 2013: she missed the deadline for global living options and ended up in Harris, now a sophomore dorm. She was worried about being in Harris but it turned out fine. The good thing about a larger dorm is that it’s easy to meet more people freshman year: each hall and floor has a theme, the Resident Assistants arrange house events and are there to help you transition. Since the OP asked, D had a friend in L-Means who loved it, the rooms are beautiful.

As a sophomore, my D had no problems with housing: she got her first choice in Woodruff, which has beautiful suites, a small cafe and other amenities since it’s on the far side near the hospital. Freshmen in Harris had the option to remain there (it was renovated last summer), and many of her best friends are still there.
