Gummere Hall Reviews

I lived in Gum my first year and as a second year RSL. Gum is great as a first year. It has large common rooms for each hall on the first and third sections. The middle sections get common rooms but for only two suites. The rooms are large for the most part and are all singles. The building also has a party space in the basement. There is a lot of social life for under classmen. Overall the building is pretty gross though. It looks like a prison and was built to keep students from rioting during the Vietnam war era. All these features make it a great place to bond with your classmates. (This is a first year only dorm)

Gummere is not for everyone, but it is an excellent compromise (in my opinion) between all the things you look for in a dorm. Facilities, cleanliness of common rooms- not outstanding. But it's close to everywhere you'd want to be- Campus Center, KINSC, etc.
