Describe the dorms.

The Commons is as good a living experience as you will find in America. It's got to be. Built in 2008, the Commons is a cluster of 10 houses that all the freshmen live in. Such an arrangement streamlines you into the process of making friends and getting acclimated. You are constantly meeting new people; nobody is isolated. There is actually a distinct Hogwarts kind of vibe going on. What I mean by that is freshmen take pride in their houses and there is a year-long competition for the Commons Cup. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are clean. At the end of freshman year, moving out is certainly an emotionally demanding task.
