<p>So I just found out that next year I will be in Bauer Hall. I was wondering if any current students could describe it to me. I was a little upset because I had been hoping for Donlon since that seemed to be known as the social/party dorm. Does Bauer's small size make it seem isolated?</p>
<p>you actually got on the website, congrats!</p>
<p>It's one of the best dorms on North Campus. The layout is essentially suites on a central hall. You need your ID card to get into the building and to get up to your floor. </p>
<p>As you walk down the comparatively wide hall, there are doors on the right and left, in groupings of four or so rooms, each with a bathroom. These are your suitemates, although you are not really isolated from everyone else on the hall.</p>
<p>It's a nice place to live. Of course it's a bit more isolated than Donlon/Dickson, but not because of size, but rather because of the suite arrangement.</p>
<p>I don't think there is anything small or isolated about bauer (court in my day). It's still a very big building with long halls, so you will meet a lot of people. As many of the really social kids that i partied with freshman year lived in court/mews as in donlon.</p>
<p>Bauer (formerly Court A-wing) is ***king awesome. Social, very clean, suite-mates, it will spoil you...</p>
<p>Is Court/Bauer the only residence that is split into two buildings? How much interaction is there between Court and Bauer?</p>
<p>there's a lot of interaction. Court/Bauer are the same dorm, it just had one part renamed. </p>
<p>They are separated by the sky bridge...so it's just like you're going up the hall.</p>
<p>I agree with pretty much everyone else in this thread. I lived in Court/Bauer last year and I loved it. It really will spoil you.</p>
