virtuoso: agreed, Yale should renovate L-dub (and probably will, once it finishes renovating the residential colleges). But, there’s no reason to be worried. For all its flaws, L-dub’s residents (both Pierson and Saybrook) love their time in it. In fact, perhaps renovating it would cause it to lose its charm . Anyway, don’t worry, and look forward to an awesome year in L-dub.



Actually, LDub went through a major renovation in 1993, which isn’t too long ago for a building. Also, consider this–in a non-binding referendum as to whether Pierson freshmen should continue to be housed in LDub (if not, they would likely go to Welsh or Vanderbilt), then-current Pierson freshmen overwhelmingly rejected any plans to move.
