the rooms are nice and spacious. There are enough storage spaces to put a lot of stuff. The only negative of the room (on the west side) is that the temperature control dials are very very sensitive and do seem to keep the temperature constant.

Spacious rooms, loved the huge windows and natural light, food was pretty good (especially breakfast). Can be a little bit far from the rest of campus / west side
Best dining hall food on the campus, hands down. You don’t have to worry about associating with the wrong kinds of people because everyone, and I mean everyone, is an antisocial engineering kid in some way. There are plenty of amenities to hold you by without having to leave the hall, and it’s only a couple of blocks down Green St. from the main campus and engineering quad.
