More pros and cons:
Pros: Unlike some dorms, still I believe has some lounges not converted to rooms. Very convenient to Thayer (right above) which can be a pro or con (good coffee shop just below, noise factor). Definitely look up your room config. there are actually a few that are bigger. Unlike the other freshman dorms I think they still had singles in NP in the lottery, so more ppl around you to ask re courses etc. If you like to exercise, or are on a team, it’s as close as you can get to OMAC. While small, I’ve heard that some of the rooms have more storage space than average.
Cons: noise of Thayer (mainly a prob if you face that way), Hard for people to find your room! Some of the rooms have weird dimensions so don’t buy a rug unless it’s tiny until you figure that out.
