<p>I know that there is a list of these dorms: but can anyboody just tell me which colleges have dorms like palaces?</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna does.</p>
<p>Pepperdine University.</p>
<p>loyola college in maryland, wittenberg university</p>
<p>Emory Claremont Campus</p>
<p>if u are a women, then flagler college in florida. its one of those hidden tresures. and i heard thier dorms are like palaces for WOMEN and nor for men. idk why…</p>
<p>I’m a freshman at Loyola College in Maryland now and I have a two bedroom apt with kitchen and dining room. It’s ridiculous but so nice.</p>
<p>WUSTL supposedly does</p>
<p>JHU’s Charles Common I think, but I haven’t seen enough to really compare and say.</p>
<p>I visited Loyola College Maryland, and yes, the dorms are like palaces as some above poster mentioned. Everywhere else I visited, the dorms were pretty standard. I thought Georgetown’s were above average, too, but not palatial by any stretch.</p>
<p>This list can be found on the Princeton Review site.</p>
<p>In general, the womens’ only colleges (or former women only colleges) have the nicest dorms.</p>
<p>Vassar does</p>
<p>The best ones we saw on tour were at Scripps.</p>

<p>I’m a big fan of the Princeton Review. However, I think that many of the ratings come from the students themselves. So, it’s not as if there’s an independent board of objective experts visiting every campus and rating the dorm rooms, college food, campus aesthetics, etc. Maybe the ratings become surrogates for student satisfaction. So, happy students may rate things higher than unhappy ones do, even if their opinions are unsupportable.</p>
<p>This is so subjective! At Bennington many of us (there are a few dorm options, but the majority are the old houses) live in large, white clapboard houses. Each one has a big common living room with floor to ceiling, paned windows, big upholstered couches and fireplaces. There are hardwood floors in the rooms, crown moulding…you get the idea. For anyone who loves old houses (count me in!) they are heaven. If you like more modern structures, we have those too (featured in Architectural Record in 2001 when they were built) they are more sleek industrial style. I know, though, that many people want more condo-like housing, so a “palace” can mean different things to different people.</p>
<p>Bowles Hall at Berkeley is very pretty and castle-like (perhaps not “palace”). The other dorms tend to be more modern, though.</p>

<p>Surely they jest, unless GWU has built a lot of new dorms since I lived in one for a summer program.</p>
