Good point, @prodesse: most colleges have many types of dorm rooms. Dorm room, food options climate (for all but the most determined)- these things turn out to be some of the least important factors in how happy a student is with their college experience.

…and I say that based on experience with collegekids with a very wide range of housing experiences (ranging from the smallest double physically possible to a panelled suite in a Christopher Wren designed building, from straight Sodexo cafeteria food to seated dinners, etc.). The academics mattered vastly more- how much they enjoy(ed) the teacher/classes, felt challenged and successful in their work and ECs, and - mostly!- as in so much of life: the people around them made the experience.
