Is Shepard Hall the best dorm at Northwestern?

Shepard is definitely a good dorm, probably the best on south campus. The rooms are a bit small so if you plan on having people over it can get a bit cramped. All the rooms have heating and central AC that you can control from the room. The bathrooms are pretty nice too. One of the best parts of Shepard is the study area/lounge in the basement. It’s really big and a great place to study/hang out! There’s also a full kitchen there and on the ground floor if you like cooking.

One of the best south area dorms. Bathrooms are literally like a hotel. There's study spaces in the basement and the famous egg chairs. If you're looking for a party-vibe though this is not the dorm for you, it's a more wholesome vibe.
