Dorm recommendations (Male)

<p>Since Baylor has made the new policy about staying in the dorms your first year, what dorms would everyone recommend?</p>

<p>Gordo....</p>

<p>Basically, unless you are doing honors (which is Alexander Hall), you have three dorm choices (Penland, Martin, Brooks). For the best overall freshman experience, I recommend Penland.</p>

<p>Penland is where the "fun and hip" people stay.</p>

<p>Brooks is where the "Laid Back" type of person stays.</p>

<p>Martin is a mix of the two.</p>

<p>I should add that the reason I rec. Penland is because it also houses the most freshmen, and thus increases the chances of meeting more guys. Martin is a completely freshman dorm as well, but it is smaller, without a food court, and just boring. I would recommend Martin only if you enjoy a "quiet" atmosphere. I would never recommend Brooks to anyone. The worst thing about Brooks is that only a small percentage of the dorm is for freshmen. Upper classmen make up the majority of Brooks. Also the rooms are smaller. I hope that helped. BTW- Where are you from?</p>

<p>Thanks for the detailed explanation.... oh and i'm from Port arthur (SE Texas, 1 1/2 hours from houston)</p>
