My son has decided to attend Stevens and is very excited. Any suggestions for best freshman dorm? We were not given the opportunity to see the dorms on our tour. Thanks!
First of all, there is no bad location. The dorms on campus are all a short walk to the dining hall and library. Classes are held either on campus or within one block of campus.
I am not sure about the current condition of any of the buildings. My son was a freshman 5 years ago and he lived in Davis Hall. Not sure if you can still make room requests but the odd numbered rooms on any (Davis) floor should face NYC.
It is a small campus and he will run into other freshman every day as most upperclassmen live off campus, either in Stevens leased housing or on their own.
