I did healthy living and really liked it. Basic rule is that you cannot have any alcohol or drugs (inc. cigarettes) on the floor - which includes in your body. Sure, the rules sometimes get broken - BUT - it is done so discreetly. People will do their drinking and partying elsewhere, and they are quiet when they return to the dorms (because loud drunken ruckusing is not permitted). It’s nice. Sure, drinking happens at college, but at least it isn’t right in front of your face (at 3 am). If you’re not a drinker/partier, you’ll be able to meet like-minded people.

Richardson is fairly small (100 students or so) and has really big rooms. As I recall, it’s a nice community-type atmosphere.

One benefit of Metcalf is that the kitchen is on the second floor. For those of you who are NOT fans of trudging down three flights of stairs with all of your cookware and food, it can be a big plus. (Then again, this is the pres. of a food-lovers group talking here. ) It’s also right in the middle of campus, as is Richardson, which is very convenient.

Dewick has way better food than Carmichael. :)
