Contents
Room features
- Size. Check out the floor plans of the 17 residence halls in Category:Residence halls.
- Quality of lighting.
- Windows, ventilation, heating, air conditioning.
Residence hall location

- Residence halls typically full of seniors: Hogan, Broadway, Watt, East Campus

- Number and speed of elevators.
