<p>Also a parent of an Emory Soph. Welcome to the Emory community. I agree with Leibow11. Where ever your child lands, it will be fine. All the freshman dorms are on the main campus. Freshman year, my son ended up in Dobbs which has the smallest rooms…I mean really small. I had heard from FOUR independent sources (different people from different years who had lived in Dobbs) that despite the small room size, or maybe because of it, the students in Dobbs ended up closer than any other dorm. It turned out to be true. My son is now in a fraternity but remains close with many students he met in Dobbs. He loves Emory. </p>
<p>Moving your child into a college dorm is a momentous event in their (and a parent’s) life. But the dorm facilities at Emory are great. My son ended up in one of the ‘worst’ dorms and loved it. With the new freshman dorm set to be completed in fall 2010, the chances that your freshman daughter will be placed in a rather new (or very new) dorm are now overwhelming. Check out the housing site. She can apply to one of the theme housings or let the ‘chips’ fall where they may. I do not think the dorm that she lands in will be the source of problems.</p>
