<p>I don’t know what you mean by “as great as advertised” but as I mentioned, my son is very happy in his dorm, situated by the athletic center, and with a great lounge. There are 3 freshman dorms, Sheahan, Champagnat & Leo. Leo is right next to Sheahan, and is comparable in community feel, and friends seem to gather between the two quite frequently. Champagnat is much larger (&newer) and close to the student center. Although nothing is too far apart really. Leo & Champagnat have elevators, something for us parents to think about for move in/out. Sheahan does not,and is most easily accessible by climbing a hill from the parking lot. The dorms inside in Sheahan are clean, and a nice size with built in closets, and shelving, with additional free-standing dressers and desks. There is the possiblity of tripling in all three dorms, and a fourth dorm Marion, which houses Frosh and sophs. With tripling the beds are lofted and usually one dresser or desk or both moved out. I feel the rooms are some of the nicest I’ve seen, with most having a water view!</p>
