Queen’s Court kids are generalized as the quirkiest of the freshmen class. They are studious and tend to become the leaders on campus. It’s a small dorm and everyone knows eachother, which can be good and bad. It’s a residential college (a lot of planned programs in the city, etc–totally optional).

Tierney is not solely a freshmen dorm, but it’s supposed to be of the same caliber as Queen’s Court, though less intense. It’s in a weird location on campus, away from everyone/everything. It’s a residential college but not really in the same sense as QC.

Alumni North & South don’t really have generalizations, besides the fact that Alumni South is dubbed ‘the dirty south’ , take that as you may. They’re the people who didn’t want to live in a quad (Hughes) and didn’t want to live in a residential college. In general, everyone seems pretty laidback. I don’t think there are any distinctions between the two, necessarily, besides the fact that the Science Wing is in South.

Hughes Hall are stereotyped the worst on campus, as the ones tampering in sex, drugs, alcohol. The “craziest” ones. There are four people to a room so it kind of seems like people in this dorm are only friends with people in this dorm (though that can be argued with all the dorms). A lot of people end up here if they don’t turn in their housing information on time.
