<p>In terms of dorm personality, they are both open books at the beginning of the semester. People make them different personality-wise with each new year. However, like SeekingUni said, Hecht is usually known as the more “wild” dorm. Stanford has instrument practice rooms and a game room, while Hecht has a nice lobby and elevators that actually work. I’d personally choose Hecht over Stanford any day, but I’m a little biased :P</p>
