[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Touring dorms is so creepy and such a waste of time. It takes you 2 seconds to Google pictures of campus housing.[/quote]

[b]I don't really think seeing the inside of a dorm room is that important, [/b]but I do think seeing the general condition of the housing can say a lot.  I toured one residence hall at a rather expensive university that was just plain gross and in a horrible state of disrepair.  I'm not talking about messy; I'm talking about non-functioning restrooms, trash and debris in the stairwells, and no evidence of any cleaning or maintenance whatsoever.  I don't know what that school was doing with the $70k per year, but it wasn't spending any of it on the residence halls.[/quote]

After having you red at least a dozen dorm rooms, I tend to agree.  They are strikingly similar - some a a little smaller and some are a little larger, but basically it is a tight space with a bed, dresser and desk for ones child.  [/quote]
Yup. And even if they are a bit different (i.e. some colleges have the suite style with two bedrooms connected by a bathroom, some have singles, etc.)...you can generally find that information and photos on the websites. [/quote]
