So I’ve seen a lot of outdated posts about the best dorms on east campus with the most popular opinions being Bell Tower and Wilson are the best. I was wondering why? I’ve been assigned a single in Wilson and I want to know if it really is the best dorm
Wilson is because it has suites (no “hall” bathroom, but shared among 2-3 rooms) and decently large rooms in a good location. Bell Tower because it’s the newest/nicest with large rooms too – basically a hotel. I was in Wilson several years ago, and had a nice 235 sq ft room shared with one other guy. We shared a bathroom with 3 other people (a double room and a single). Sounds great in theory, but when you have 5 guys share a bathroom and nobody cleans it (except during major breaks when housekeeping would get there), gets pretty grotesque. I didn’t care, but my gf at the time…Not sure if they’ve changed that model. I didn’t have AC, but I think all dorms now have AC installed (Dukies are spoiled now!).
