<p>The dorms online aren't really the greatest...but don't forget that American is an institution on the rise to greatness so it really isn't at its full potential yet. I stayed in a dorm for 10 nights over the summer, so I can share with you some of my experiences.</p>
<p>-They aren't huge, but I found that I could easily fit at least 2-3 weeks worth of clothes in the closets/drawers.
-The rooms themselves are decently sized, and the air conditioning/heat is powerful (which was good esp after hours outside in the 95 degree heat).
-The beds were comfortable and I slept extremely well.
-The desks held a ton of stuff, even more than my home one did.
-There are no bathrooms in the rooms themselves (at least not in Leonard), but instead there are shower stalls. Whenever I previously experienced showerstalls, they were either boiling or freezing one minute to the enxt. At AU I was able to spend more than 2 seconds in there before being scorched or made into the human icicle and the water pressure was delightful.
-They have a number of take-out lists in the lobbies as well as couches, chairs, and Leonard has a TV/game lounge.
-The windows are big and offer pleasant views of the surroundings
-OH! The fire sprinklers rarely go off so the water has been sitting up in there for a while...if they go off I heard the water is brown.</p>
<p>Otherwise, they were great and I loved living there for 10 days and most likely will live there for the next 4 years providing I don't get into NYU.</p>
