<p>What is Hodgdon hall like? What are the dorm rooms like? Overall condition? Size(s)? etc? Thanks :)</p>
<p>bump (10 char.)</p>
<p>The rooms are def. a good size, big and square, but it's relatively dirty and smells bad. Last year it was known for having tons of smokers (i think that the people who said they smoked on the roommate questionnaire were housed there), but there's a really nice lounge on the first floor and of course you live right above Hodgdon Good-to-Go, so you can just go down the stairs (where there's a cool mural, too, haha) and get your Chinese food or muffins or hot pockets or whatever. Really convenient in the winter when there are huge snowstorms :)</p>
<p>hmmm...that is interesting, b/c I specifically requested healthy living. What irony...and why would it smell?</p>
<p>Its okay because every year the atmosphere of a dorm can change dramatically. And if the health conditions really do suck then you can always argue for a room change. </p>
<p>and im not sure about it smelling but if it does it could be from the fumes of food coming from hodgdon good to go.</p>
<p>The dorms can go from uber cool to shabby. pray that you get a set of good housing lottery numbers for your housing selection process. they implemented a new system, which i was unaffected by thank goodness, where at the end of your first semester you get all of your housing lottery numbers for the three remaining years or something like that. so that if you get a low number for soph yr you get a high one for senior yr. also, it matters if you get a roomie for any year because their number will affect yours. </p>
<p>Anyone correct me if im wrong.</p>
<p>also, i didn't mean to sound like the system sucks. in fact, it seems to be far more fair. I just personally don't want to know if im going to be homeless two years from now. heh.</p>
<p>it's fair but CONFUSING. Rather than go into the lottery with our roommates, 8 girls got together and put together the highest and lowest, next-highest and next-lowest, etc, so we'd all have higher averages, and then switch after move-in. Also, you had no idea what averages people would end up with so there was no way of knowing how many people were ahead of your averaged number, and so we stressed out endlessly that we wouldn't get our rooms in South. My average was 50 points higher than two of my friends', and yet when we got on the line there was ONE pair of kids between us. We freaked out for nothing.</p>
<p>It sucks because now, if you want to room with someone, you might end up screwed over by their low number, and that would discourage you from living with them. That's so unfair.</p>
