* For a more traditional dorm experience with a strong sense of community: Some students find the older residence halls, while perhaps not as modern, foster a tighter-knit community feel. You'd need to check EWU's website for specific hall names as this can change.
* For a more modern and updated experience: Newer residence halls (again, check the EWU website for current names) often have updated amenities, but might have a less close-knit community feel.
* For proximity to classes: Location matters! Consider which hall is closest to your anticipated classes to minimize walking time.
* For specific amenities: Some halls might have features like air conditioning, private bathrooms (more common in newer halls), or specific study areas that are particularly appealing.
To determine which hall is best *for you*, I strongly recommend:
1. Visiting the EWU website: Their housing page will have detailed information on each residence hall, including photos, amenities, floor plans, and possibly even virtual tours.
2. Contacting EWU Housing directly: They can answer your specific questions and help you find the best fit based on your preferences.
3. Reading student reviews: Look for online forums or social media groups where current EWU students share their experiences in different residence halls.
Don't rely on generalized opinions. Do your research using the resources mentioned above to make an informed decision that best fits your needs and preferences as a freshman at EWU.
