@Mammakin‌: You got some very good information on this thread about the residence halls at Hamilton. I wanted to suggest a complementary approach as well. To the extent that you are advising your son, consider advising him to play a straight hand by choosing the housing he feels most comfortable with. IF anyone questions him about his choice of, say, substance free housing, the answer need be no more complicated than that of the question of why he might be wearing a blue shirt: “Because that’s what I prefer.”

College is a good – but difficult – time to develop independence of choice and expression. Starting early will make for a more meaningful four years.
