Speaking for doubles in Thatcher, they are much bigger than most rooms in campus. There's enough room where you can move you rearrange your furniture without feeling claustrophobic. There are walk in closets which help with the openness feel of the room. The bathrooms in my opinion are on the nicer side. Beside the size of the rooms, location is probably the biggest pro. Its located in the Northeast residential area, and sits basically next to Worchester dinning hall. Its also near a lot of classes students will be going to. The only real con would be that there is no sort of "game" table in the lounge. Most dorms have either one or a combination of ping pong/pool/foosball table, but Thatcher as none of them.
