<p>Hi! I'm going to be a freshman at Michigan this fall and i'm thinking about living in Betsy Barbour but I can't find a lot of reviews on it so I was just wondering what it's like? Has anyone ever lived there before? Will I be able to make friends? I heard the location's good so that's a plus. I'm just not sure how it would be.
And at least I won't be living in North campus.</p>
<p>Betsy Barbour is very nice. I lived in Newberry and have heard that some women prefer it, but both are nice and you can use the amenities in both buildings-- they are mere feet away. The rooms in both buildings are a little small, but the lounges are very comfortable and if you’re anything like me, you’ll come to see your dorm as your bedroom and the rest of the house as your home… so the size isn’t so bad. There’s also a great sense of community, and the dining hall downstairs in Barbour is great-- everyone is very friendly and groups of girls will invite people that are sitting alone to eat with them even if they are strangers. I loved it! And you’re right, the location is great. You’d be just a few buildings down from the union and across the street from Angell Hall. It’s a good place to be.</p>
