I’m an incoming freshman, and I’m looking at Morewood E Tower, Stever, and Henderson. I stayed at Stever for an overnight visit, and I’m fine with everything except for the restrooms. This may be a bit picky lol, but I really didn’t like the showers with curtains. Do all the community bathrooms in Morewood E Tower and Stever have the same shower setup, or are there restrooms with stalls or rooms for showers?

Also, some people seemed to not recommend Henderson as a freshman dorm. I would be looking to meet other freshman and stuff, so I’m not sure how much of a downside this is to Henderson. I’m a CS major if it makes a difference; is it unlikely that I can find another freshman CS roommate for Henderson?

Last year there were 5 CS freshman at Henderson. I’m not sure about finding another CS roommate but it doesn’t really matter tbh. Henderson is also the only dorm that a freshman can get in with upperclassmen. So if you want to interact with not only with freshman but upperclassmen as well, then Henderson would be a great choice. I’m not sure why people not recommend Henderson, it is a great place.

My daughter was in E tower when she was a freshman. It wasn’t bad, just a typical dorm. Bonus is that it’s right on the corner of Forbes and it’s super close to campus. She stayed in the dorms one year and then moved off campus.
