Most colleges and universities cringe at the term “dorms”; a more appropriate term is residence hall. The difference: you sleep in a dormitory; you live in a residence hall. This is a very important distinction because today, residence halls offer a complete living experience. They are small communities that offer students restaurants, social events, even college classes all under one roof. So it’s easy to see that it is important to find the absolute best hall (dorm) for your particular tastes and interests. Iowa State University has a great assortment of halls; it’s up to you to find the best dorm for you.
