<p>If you search the forum with a few good keywords, you’ll find goo threads, but I agree the information is skewed. Let’s see if I can answer for a few without making mistakes.</p>
<p>DONNER
Pros:
Big Rooms.
Good Freshmen Community.
Located close to the good food on campus.
Good freshman community.</p>
<p>Cons:
Located by a Street, so you’ll hear automobiles but you should get over it.
Dumpster outside gives Donner a bad reputation as being smelly.
The building is ugly. Really ugly. Link>[Donner</a> House](<a href=“http://www.housing.cmu.edu/buildings/donner/]Donner”>http://www.housing.cmu.edu/buildings/donner/)</p>

<p>MOREWOOD E TOWER
Pros:
Can meet some upperclassmen since it is connected to Morewood Gardens.
Decent sized rooms.
The Underground is in the basement so you can grab something to eat without bundling up.</p>
<p>Cons:
Can’t think of any at the moment, but I’m sure there are a few.</p>

<p>MUDGE
Pros:
Good Freshman community.
Renovated Mansion. Enough said.
Filled with Primes, so no communal bathroom for you.
Decent sized rooms.
Nice courtyard in the back.</p>
<p>Cons:
You could end up in the basement. Guess that’s not a con if you are pale and never have seen the light. Computer monitor glare doesn’t count.
Of course, the primes cost more (unless it’s a quad).</p>

<p>RESIDENCE OF FIFTH:
Pros:
Very nice rooms.
Good freshman community.</p>
<p>Cons:
A little more walking to do to get to/from campus.
It’s a quiet living building. Shhhh.
Used to be a Hospital. Ghosts are running around…lol.</p>
