<p>What are they like and how do they compare to other colleges?</p>
<p>The first year housing (Commons) is the best; the quality of your rooms declines after that. First year students really get the treatment. This summer Vanderbilt will be demolishing some of their older dorms (Kissam quad) and will be building a new residential section.</p>
<p>First year housing is amazing, housing afterwards is average. Kissam will be rebuilt fall of 2014 and should be awesome like the commons</p>
