Lived in a four person suite in Snow (shared bathroom, two double rooms and a common area). Best dorm location on campus in my opinion. Decent dining hall, has AC and is pretty spacious. The closets have tons of room in them which helps the fact that they don't give you dressers there. Several study rooms on each floor which helps a lot if you find you prefer studying not in your room but are unable (or don't want) to go to the lib. Great place to live, I loved it there.
Pros - Private bathroom - Living room area - AC - Best place on campus location/dining hall wise - Always an open washer/dryer - Multiple lounges/study spaces on every floor Cons: - If someone's in the bathroom in your room, you're screwed - no bathroom that is continuously open - Bathroom can get GROSS, even with weekly cleaning - black mold in the shower that won't come up, shower clogs insanely easily, one of our taps only worked sometimes, there's no basin for the shower so the water overflows into the bathroom even when the drain works - No water fountains in the building - have to go to Rome Commons for a water fountain
Pros: - suites: 2 rooms with 2 people each, living room space, and a bathroom - some singles with private bathrooms, REALLY difficult to get unless you have accommodations or lots of credits (100+) - nice view - close to campus - AC!! Controlled by phone call to automated system - 1 small kitchen in each building with stove and microwave - multiple study lounges on each floor - Wilson first floor has classrooms- extra study space - 1 slow elevator per building (oof) Cons: - don’t know many neighbors, fairly isolated - Hard to get into without lots of credits or accommodations - mailroom is in Rome, so is the dining hall, so you have to go outside to get food - not too many water refill stations
Great dorm room, living here again next semester and would encourage anyone that could to live here.
I lived in a 4 person suite in Snow Hall, which is Honors Housing. The suite is very spacious, and it is awesome to have your own bathroom. The bathrooms have the toilet portioned off with a stall divider, so someone can shower while another person uses the toilet or sink which is convenient. The rooms do have AC and you can adjust the heating temperature at any time by calling a phone number listed on the back of the door. There are 2 large lounges 2 smaller study alcoves on each floor. There are 2 kitchens on the main floor. Although the dining hall is in Rome Hall, you only have to walk outside for 10 seconds to get to the door of South dining hall, which is one of the only dining halls open for breakfast on weekends and grab and go.

Best spot to live on campus, imo. Dorm can get kinda hot if you have the heat set too high, be careful of that.
South is good, nothing really to complain about. Shower head is kind of short but as long as you aren't a giant you'll be fine.
