<p>any website have reviews of dorms?</p>

<p>good question</p>

<p>campusdirt
student review
Princeton review</p>

<p>they don’t specifically review dorms, but they talk about them.</p>

<p>Georgetown’s dorms are overall pretty good. Freshman dorms are good, except if you get Village C West, which has really small rooms, but you do get a private bathroom, so that’s a plus or not depending on how you look at it. My room in Harbin has SO much space, we could fit two of the couches in our room from the lounge, and it’s only for two people! It’s a little over 190 sq ft, and there’s a lot of empty space for things. Next year, a lot of ppl have rooms that are around 237 sq feet, and all i want to know is what do you do with all of that space??? <em>cough</em> beer pong table <em>cough</em> The only thing bad is that housing isn’t guaranteed for junior and senior year. Otherwise, there are 12 dorms, living/learning communities, etc.</p>

<p>georgia southern is opening a new freshman dorm in the fall which is just like thier current upperclassmen and honors dorm. These are really nice. They are basically apartments with a half kitchen, private bedrooms, semi-private baths. Really nice. As for the other freshman dorms Watson is the only one I would reccommend. The others are really old and small.</p>

<p>bryn mawr dorms arae bigger than my own room…</p>

<p>Scripps College (the women’s component of the Oxford-like Claremont consortium in Claremont, CA) has wonderful, large dorms in a majestic Spanish Mediterranean architectural setting. Scripps places 4th in the nation in Princeton Review’s DORMS LIKE PALACES survey category, one notch above Bryn Mawr. Plus, the guys are right across the street at Harvey Mudd, Claremont-McKenna, Pomona, and Pitzer.</p>

<p>harvard has a bunch of singles, due to its HUGE funding/money</p>

<p>I second the person who mentioned Scripps, and the person who mentioned Wellesley.</p>

<p>Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, GA has gorgeous dorms and bathrooms-- singles, spacious doubles, and lofts, which are very, very cool. </p>

<p>I would have to say Claremont McKenna had these very, very awesome living areas for some of its students. Lining both sides of the main section of the campus were these two-story buildings with good-sized bedrooms and private bathrooms. The alterior looked and the interior was structured very motel-style. Extremely comfortable and convienent and very rare for a college to possess that sort of housing.</p>

<p>University of Southern California possesses at least several floors of the Radisson Hotel across the street from the main campus. They were still building Parkside (another notable, really awesome, new, large, gorgeous international dorm at 'SC) when the new academic year started, so they needed to find space for all these freshman who didn’t have any housing. So they leased out several floors of the Radisson to house the froshes; two students to a room and its bathroom, maid service once a week, hotel perks: pool, gym, etc. Very nice.</p>

<p>elon’s dorms are, for the most part, very large and well-kept. they also have many flats, which are basically on-campus apartments with 4-5 bedrooms and kitchenettes.</p>

<p>when i stayed at Howard for a summer program i stayed in the Quad, in Truth Hall… Very nice, not Sprawling or Expansive, i don’t know any HBU’s that have sparwling or expansive dorms for first year students. But i will be attending howard in fall of 06</p>

<p>bryn mawr college has the biggest dorms ive seen.
i live in a relatively large house, and some of the dorms are bigger than my own room…
and i think someone mentioned the window seats and fireplace. nice assets.</p>

<p>Of the schools on your list, Haverford probably has the nicest/most spacious dorms. It’s a lot easier to get your own room as a freshman/sophomore there than it is at Swat (although Swat’s are also nice).</p>

<p>Bryn Mawr is beyond palatial, and frosh who care can often get singles. But that wasn’t on the list.</p>
