<p>I know this is a strange question, but which freshmen dorm is closest to the tunnel which leads to main campus?<br>
Also, is it a modern or traditional dorm?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Lien is the closest. It is a modern dorm.</p>
<p>Umrath is pretty close too. It's a traditional.</p>
<p>Are there first floor rooms in the modern dorms?
I remember seeing the lounge, but then we went upstairs to a room.</p>
<p>We did not see a traditional dorm, so are there first floor rooms in these dorms as well?</p>
<p>Check the floor plans here <a href="http://reslife.wustl.edu/housing_selection/options.html%5B/url%5D">http://reslife.wustl.edu/housing_selection/options.html</a></p>
<p>cressmom,
are any of these floor plans for freshmen dorms?</p>
<p>Those floor plans are for the upperclassmen dorms. I know that the freshman dorms Lee and Beaumont have a limited number of rooms on the bottom floor. I can't speak about the others. Lee and Beau are both traditional.</p>
<p>Wheeler has freshman this year, and so do Eliot and Shepley; who knows next year, they are already tight with the housing assignments</p>
<p>The current plan is to move Wheeler and Eliot back to upperclassmen dorms. (That could change if over involvement is a problem again this year. Admissions has been working to make sure it doesn't, though.)</p>
<p>Second floor of Park will be remodeled over the summer and will be freshmen dorm.</p>
<p>Don't request a first-floor dorm if you don't have to - There are fewer people living on the first floors of newer dorms (due to the common areas, laundry room, meeting spaces, etc.), and the old dorms only have a few people live on them (Ruby has 2 students, Umrath has 4, Lee has 12 maybe?).</p>
<p>to go back to your original question, Koenig is very close to main campus as well, although you go a different way than the underpass.</p>
