Filling out the Housing App

I’ve heard various things about the different dorm conditions at Dartmouth this year both on this board and when I was on campus. I wanted a comprehensive thread with recommendations about where someone who fits my profile might have both a fun and constructive year.

I’m looking for a dorming environment with a few specifications:

I’d prefer a dorm that’s all-freshman, so I can get to know my class better.
I’d like a dorm that’s a generally nice physical living space, both in terms of how big the rooms are, how neat the dorm is, and the bathroom-to-dorm ratio.
This is not a huge consideration, but if it’s a tiebreaker, I’d like a dorm that’s a little bit closer to the center of campus (which i’m assuming is the green)


The other things to keep in mind are that I am NOT looking for substance-free housing and under no circumstances do I want to live in a single. Living in a 1-room double is kind of low on my list too, but I’d be ok with it if I had to. My top choices would be either doubles or triples with enough space. I’m not sure exactly what Dartmouth offers, but something along the lines of a two-room double, a two-room triple, or a three-room double (which might be way too much to wish for) would be really nice.

Thanks for any help.
