![]() It is about a 15-20 minute walk from main campus, which is in no way convenient. It is not one big connected dorm, but instead many smaller areas that freshman are placed in. Seriously, the rooms still have landline phones connected to the wall! It is also the farthest hill dorm from campus, and the wind tunnel is not necessarily enjoyable on cold winter days.Īlthough not clearly stated, Oxford is a highly isolated dorm to live in as a freshman student. However, the rooms are very small, bathrooms are not nice, and the overall dorm has not been renovated since before your parents went to college. It is not the worst option, and you will be perfectly fine. They do have the hideaway, which is a fun study area in the basement, and the pantry, which comes with your favorite junk food and drinks. Although it’s the only entirely freshmen dorm, and used to be social, fun, and exciting at all hours of the night, this all disappeared and was replaced by an infestation of mice and cockroaches. Markley is not one of my favorites, to say the least. “Mary Markley is so much fun, definitely the place to be as a freshman,” they said. If you see Couzens, get ready to smile! Mary Markley: the "social" dorm It is located near Palmer Commons cafe, which sells the best coffee on The Hill and is a great and relaxing place to get hours and hours of work done. However, the dorm is not social, as it is not predominantly freshmen and not a great place to meet a wide range of people. Most floors comes with a mini kitchen and stove area, and there are many study rooms and multi-use television lounge's where people gather and socialize. Both the rooms and bathrooms are large and beautiful, and students are seen as royalty walking around feeling clean as can be. Just like West, Couzens is the luxury hotel of dorms on the hill. Both honors students and athletes live in South Quad, so your neighbor may be a football star as well! The best part is it has the best dining hall on campus, and let me tell you, walking down in your pajamas for meals is truly a gift that goes unnoticed at home. The entire 9 th floor is a quiet study lounge, where students all hang out and do homework together. The rooms are big, the bathrooms are nice, and it's also in a great location. Although not as social as West Quad, South was also recently re-done and absolutely fabulous. Just across the street we have South Quad, another luxury destination. ![]() Not to mention it’s social and a great way to meet long lasting friends just down the hall! South Quad: The Brains and the Balls The bathrooms are beautiful, the rooms are ginormous, there are many study rooms and cubicles, and the entire dorm resembles a recently renovated hotel. ![]() Yeah, that’s right, when it's 20 degrees and snowing you don’t have to go outside to get that heart-warming cup of Starbucks coffee. Besides being in the center of campus, just a few steps away from all the best restaurants and coffee shops, it's connected to the union. If you open the housing letter to the golden letters of “West Quad,” consider yourself royalty. ![]()
