<p>Just wanted to add that the high rises can definitely be a GREAT experience for freshmen as well. In hamilton for example, most of the freshmen are grouped on the same floor and in Harnwell, there is a freshmen experience (residential program) that is also mostly freshmen. It is different from the quad definitely, but it’s all about what you make of your experience. and, with a smaller number of freshmen in the high rises, you get to know everyone pretty well</p>
