<p>Can anyone comment on what the best dorm choice for an incoming Freshman would be? Thanks!</p>
<p>I would think that the atmosphere in the dorms changes from year to year. All are suite style with a shared bath between. Here is the link to the Mt Clef floor plan and from there you can see the other halls as well. .

<p>It truly depends on your kid’s preference, would they rather live in a quad or a quint?</p>
<p>Thanks - he doesn’t, at this point, have a preference.</p>
<p>FWIW, my S attends football camp on the campus every summer and really likes the dorms there; Likes them better than any of the others he has seen including Claremont McKenna’s which were some of the nicest I have seen. I think the presence of a common area was the kicker for him. Don’t know if they all have them but Thompson does and he has stayed there at least once.</p>
<p>If you can visit it may help you decide. Pederson and Thompson open up to outdoor halls, and a courtyard; Mt. Clef has a large indoor lounge area with rooms opening to interior halls; Afton is farther from the other freshman dorms, mixed with upper classman, so it all depends on what you are looking for.</p>
