<p>Everything’s equally close to north and south dorms, really. Maybe south is marginally closer. Classes are spread out, and there are food places all over campus. How close you are to the gym and library depends more on how east/west you are, not north/south. </p>
<p>I would choose dorms more based on what layout you like. South is traditional 2 person, North is 4 people sharing three rooms (1 bedroom, 1 study, 1 bathroom.) Stereotypically north is quieter/more serious, and south is rowdier.</p>
<p>I’m the one who told you your classes, for freshman year, would likely be spread out, since you’ll be taking a variety of GECs.</p>
<p>There is more than one library on campus, but the main library, Thompson, is a little closer to the south campus dorms, while the SEL (Science and Engineering Library) is closer to the north dorms. Both have lots of space for meeting groups, and for studying individually. </p>
<p>There are food places everywhere on campus, including in the libraries. South dorms are closer to the Student Union and Marketplace, both of which have good options and variety, as well as Baker and Kennedy Commons.</p>
<p>North Dorms are right next to North Commons, which includes a Fresh Express, with traditional “American” food, and at night, Burrito Noches, which has good Mexican after 6 pm. </p>
<p>The RPAC is the main huge gym on campus, contains two food places, and it is on west campus, so not really close to either the north or south dorms, though Jesse Owens North and South are closer to the dorms. The RPAC is worth walking to though.</p>
<p>thanks for info, im not sure which side im trying to choose.
Does air conditioning make a difference? I think i like the sound of north, less quiet(im not much of party person) but im also inclined to live by place that has healthy foods, not really bad ones like “american” style ones ><</p>
<p>I’m also not sure about the room layouts. Which do ya’ll think is better, rooming with 3 other people with bigger room(so each room has 3 rooms to it)? or one other person with smaller?</p>
<p>i had a similar dilemma. think about it like this (if you’re a girl), do you really want to live with three other girls in a small space? I thought personally that the south dorms were better than the north based on size. North had their own bathrooms in the room, but they’re small. bradley on south has larger semi-private bathrooms (which won me over)</p>
<p>dd was won over to south because north bathrooms are cleaned by residents and south are cleaned by maintenance staff. Siebert rooms bigger but bathroom is one common per floor. Her room in Bradley is much smaller…no choice but to bunk beds, but 4 private bathrooms on her half of floor, each with toilet/sink/shower and one common mirror area.</p>
<p>I think i am choosing Canfield Hall as my first choice. Mainly cause it got good ratings on yourdormsucks.com
and because it seems a lot smaller than stradley hall, i like small dorm halls. But i figure i’ll put stradley as my second choice</p>
<p>can anyone tell mw how canfield is please?</p>
<p>If you’re not a party person don’t live in Stradley.</p>
<p>Canfield is your typical two-person room with hallway bathroom. I’d describe it as charming. Connected to a pretty courtyard.</p>
