Let’s not get carried away. I would NOT call the 9th grade dorms “barracks” style. Yes they have walls that don’t quite go to the ceiling but they do have doors and those rooms are some of the nicest dorms on campus IMO. The upper school rooms are smaller and not nearly as nice. I have seen them referred to 3/4 walls but that seems a misnomer as you’d have to be a giant to see over the wall. You definitely have more privacy in those 9th grade rooms than in many upper class dorms at any school on that list because of the way the room is actually laid out.
