<p>Just wondering which of the colleges on the east coast have the nicest dorms from what you have heard or seen...</p>
<p>Smith has a lovely house system -- from what I've seen, the rooms are quite spacious.</p>
<p>Princeton Review has lots of different kinds of rankings...here is their list of colleges with the best dorms</p>
<p>Although the list isn't just limited to the east coast.</p>
<p>Can you post that list? you need to sign in to see it and I have no account.</p>
<p>Harvard has pretty nice dorms, i thought.</p>
<p>Well... except for the asbestos....... :o</p>
<p>i heard wellesly. and other lacs</p>
<p>The schools with the nicest dorms seem to be the ones that need to work harder to attract students. LACs rated below 25 tend to have great dorms. And I second the women's colleges.</p>
<p>Some of Yale's residential colleges are really nice.</p>

18 Williams College<br>
19 New College of Florida<br>
20 The George Washington University</p>
<p>I'll second Bennington--two streets of white clapboard houses with hard wood floors and big windows. Each common space has a piano, big comfy couches and a fireplace.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr doesn't have nice dorms. I've stayed in one before, and it was really old.</p>
<p>UC Merced is said to have really nice dorms. Then again, being a new University, they are brand new, and built more a suites than residence halls.</p>
<p>The undergraduate dorms at U of Texas-Arlington are reportedly the best in the state.</p>
<p>I thought Bryn Mawr's dorms looked nice. I only looked in a couple, didn't spend time there. God, and the food was wonderful!</p>
<p>Among the Ivies I visited I think Dartmouth and Harvard were the best. Brown's were also nice.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr's older dorms are gorgeous and oozing with charm. And if you like modern, they have Haffner and Erdman.</p>
<p>Erdman is disgusting... The inside especially. It's all concrete walls. Haffner isn't too great either. All old and only nice on the outside.</p>
<p>Harvard's dorms are VERY nice though.</p>
