<p>I got into the Renee Crown Honors Program and i am also attending Newhouse. I want to live in the Honors learning community and i was wondering if the dorms are nicer? And if a room is a suite with 4 people, does it have it's own bathroom?
i was wondering because when i visited, we were shown dorms in Day Hall and they were horrible! I'm hoping the other campuses are better.</p>
<p>Honors LC are in Sadler, Brockway, or Brewester. You can find a link to each that shows room layout options at each dorm. The honors links will tell you what floor the honors kids stay at (from memory - floor 2 at each dorm). You can also find a link to each dorm and see what layout options are for each honors floor. From memory there are open doubles, split doubles, and a couple of singles. There may be a suite option too, but I don’t remember. Also, your only precision of choice is being in an honors LC. I don’t think you can “officially” choose a dorm or room type. That doesn’t mean you can’t go above and beyond and call SU to put in your request.</p>
<p>As for the 3 dorm options - in my opinion, Sadler is easiest to get to main campus. Although it looks either equal or a little farther than Brockway/Brewester (these 2 are right next to eachother), the walk is up a less steep hill. Also, B/B have a seriously long steep set of stairs after the hill walk. I stayed at Sadler in the 80’s, and had friends at Brewster, so this input is from making the walk to the quad myself several times.</p>
<p>BillysDad2014, I am not sure if you have been back on campus since the 80’s, but the stairs heading up to campus after the steep walk that you referred to are now covered. And, as a former resident of Lawrinson Hall, I would agree with you that the walk from Sadler/Lawrinson up to campus is easier than from BB. Cheers!</p>
<p>@photographylife- hey I’m in honors/newhouse too =) Are you definitely going to SU?</p>

<p>My daughter is a senior, but lived in Sadler. The dorm was a split room, with a wall dividing the two sides almost all the way down, so there is some privacy. She liked it and met her closest friends on her hall, and she still lives with them off campus in an apartment. She didn’t get a choice in 2006, just put into Sadler as part of the Honors community. It was easy to get to classes from there. She moved to South Campus for her sophomore and junior years, and loved it there.</p>
<p>most, if not all, 4-person suites available to freshmen don’t have their own bathroom–just 2 open doubles and a common room (that’s what’s in BBB)…</p>
<p>I lived in Brockway my freshman year (now a junior) and would say that it’s arguably the best res hall on campus…Ernie is nice and new and all but Brockway is really small and is a great community…it’s also air conditioned and has a decent dining hall…hardwood floors in all the rooms, and a huge lounge. I’d do it, but then again…I did. =D</p>
