Umm I’d say potomac but I’m biased because I live here. It’s close to thurston, U-Yard and like two blocks from the frat houses. The rooms can be a little small but it really depends on what you get because mine is pretty big. It’s like 3-4ish blocks from the Marvin Center/J street/Gelman but really … does it make a difference? and there’s a study room on the 2nd floor and the ground floor. It was built in 2006 so the rooms are still pretty new.

I really havent heard much about Madison and I’ve never been inside but all I can say is it’s right across the street from Gelman, down 2 blocks from HelWell/Ivory on one side and from CVS on the other, 3 blocks from the metro and one block from whole foods. As for living conditions, no idea. But I’ve heard the rooms can be pretty big.

Crawford is being torn down so disregard it.

West is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! haha but really. Pelham (it’s like the Vern’s J street) is down stairs and so is the gym. It also takes J street money and although it kinda has less variety (and no auntie annes … what?), I like their food better and I always go there since I work on the Vern. Honestly, I wouldn’t live on the Vern just for west because all on my classes are on foggy and so much goes on here but the shuttle can be really quick sometimes! And if you get stuck on the vern, you can always room swap. my two friends actually just got into rooms in thurston today and they lived in Somers all of last semester. HOWEVER, if you really want a new dorm and nice rooms, West is the one and Potomac is second just because it’s like 4 years older.
