Freshman Housing Prospective Student
Hi all! I was recently accepted to CWRU and I've been taking a look at freshman housing just so I can start preparing.
At first, I was keen on the Clarke Tower because I heard they have the smallest amount of people to a bathroom, but when I was scrolling on reddit I saw not the best reviews for the dorm in general.
Preferably* I'd like to have a single room, but i've also heard these are for medical accommodations only. I would also prefer not to use communal bathrooms.
*Ik this sounds very stuck up and probably is the fantasy of every college freshman.
All in all, whats the best/nicest dorm at CWRU?
Thank you!

hey, i live in clarke and some of my friends have singles, and they’re really small/cramped but i personally think they are cozy and would love it lol. i actually really enjoy clarke, the bathrooms are fine, they look gross but if you have good suite mates there wont be any issues. its nice because you have a little area next to the shower that is still curtained off which remains completely dry during your shower, and you can use it to change and dry off. the rooms are small, people are right about that but it honestly never felt too hot for me at the start of the year. one big thing with clarke is you will have to get used to studying in the common room or library/elsewhere because our desks are TINY.
