Describe the dorms.

Esther

The dorms at UChicago vary widely, both in location and character. I lived in Pierce Tower, on the north end of campus, which is eleven stories tall and has a dining hall in the basement. Pierce rooms are very small but efficient (about 90 sq feet) and have a mix of doubles and singles. It is possible for incoming students to get singles if they want. Pierce has a great house culture (each house has 30-100 students) and a house lounge where people study and hang out.
