<p>Nic and Hewitt are architecturally identical for the most part, and they both have one- and two-room doubles and singles (mostly singles). Westco is also basically the same building except that where a lot of two-room doubles in Nic and Hewitt were converted to singles, they were largely not in Westco.</p>
<p>Fauver and Clark are new (either renovated in Clark’s case or new construction entirely in Fauver’s case) and all one-room doubles.</p>
<p>Fauver, Clark, and 200 Church are all freshmen. Westco, Nic, and Hewitt are predominantly (>50%) freshmen, and the Butts are about 50/50.</p>
<p>200 Church is the “fight racism” house, and Westco has an application process which seeks to select “artsy” people. ResLife rightly got rid of the application process for first-years since it would be disheartening to have your first attempt to be involved with something at Wes end in rejection.</p>
<p>Other than those two, ignore any “reputation” you hear about various dorms. It’s ridiculous to suggest that there’s some sort of systemic bias to a specific type of person in a specific building. They’re pretty comparable facilities. The Butts are not “far away”, there are extra 100 yards from the middle of the campus. Clark is not “party central” unless it happens to have a lot of residents who like to party. The entire residency of every building changes every year, so what it was like last year is totally irrelevant.</p>
