Contents
Facilities
Each floor has a central hallway and four suites, although many suite doors are left permanently open. Many of the A and D suites and the B and C suites have connecting doorways. All rooms have hardwood floors. There are two tiny lounges in the building, giving it a generally claustrophobic feel.
B and C suites share a large kitchen. A suites have smaller kitchens. D suites have very small kitchens.
There is a laundry room in the basement that is free for all students. Unlike many other dorms *cough cough Carman*, people don't typically take your wet clothes out of the dryers if you're 5 minutes late to get them. However, the basement level of Nuss will never fail to great you with an assembly of semi-dead roaches.
