I lived in Hall Hall last semester, and I’m moving to an upper classmen dorm next year.
Hall, Bray, Nason, Crockett, and Cary are all pretty much the same. Your standard college dorm with a floor bath. Nothing special, but nothing bad.

BARH is bigger but farther away. It has its own dining hall that is supposedly better. I’ve never eaten there. Its not that far, only 5 extra, the people who live there like it.

Quad is a tad small, but really close to campus. People say its run down, but the interior was just as well upkept as my dorm.

Barton is the newest dorm. Those kids stay in their rooms all the time because they are nice and have A/C. If you want your kid to meet people from all around, don’t tell them to live in Barton. I know 2 kids from there, and they both hang out elsewhere. They say everyone has their door shut there, in my hall 95% of the doors were open most of the time. Plus there are triples there so I don’t know if you’d want that.
