Filling out the Housing App

Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College

<p>I’ve heard various things about the different dorm conditions at Dartmouth this year both on this board and when I was on campus. I wanted a comprehensive thread with recommendations about where someone who fits my profile might have both a fun and constructive year.</p>

<p>I’m looking for a dorming environment with a few specifications:</p>

<li><p>I’d prefer a dorm that’s all-freshman, so I can get to know my class better.</p></li>
<li><p>I’d like a dorm that’s a generally nice physical living space, both in terms of how big the rooms are, how neat the dorm is, and the bathroom-to-dorm ratio.</p></li>
<li><p>This is not a huge consideration, but if it’s a tiebreaker, I’d like a dorm that’s a little bit closer to the center of campus (which i’m assuming is the green)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>The other things to keep in mind are that I am NOT looking for substance-free housing and under no circumstances do I want to live in a single. Living in a 1-room double is kind of low on my list too, but I’d be ok with it if I had to. My top choices would be either doubles or triples with enough space. I’m not sure exactly what Dartmouth offers, but something along the lines of a two-room double, a two-room triple, or a three-room double (which might be way too much to wish for) would be really nice. </p>

<p>Thanks for any help.</p>

<p>there are a lot of three-room doubles in the river, but they are most certainly not near the center of campus. i didnt think the walk was too bad this year, it just means you can't pop back to pick up a notebook between classes.</p>

<p>bump... can i get some help?</p>

<p>The Choates and the River are the only two all-freshman housing communities. Both are fairly clean and nice (the Choates were renovated a few years ago) but far from the center of campus. The Riber however, is further away.</p>

<p>The McLaughlin and Tuck Mall clusters are brand new so they'll be beautiful but mixed class.</p>

<p>Either way- it doesn't matter because you can't request specific dorms.</p>
