I'm a foreigner who has never had to live in a dorm (students either commute from home or rent apartments), and I do not encourage my kids to apply somewhere with a high risk of getting a tiny dysfunctional space. My oldest just moved into a nice single at GW... the doubles are a bit cramped, but the dorms are overall on the nicer side - renovated, A/C, amenities, etc. I am NOT paying these American prices for my kids to get poor quality sleep for 4 years. Comfort matters. And we live in a tiny, old house! But it's still comfortable and well laid-out.

I entirely reject the notion that discomfort is "part of the college experience". Not at those prices.

GW grad.  Most of GW’s dorms are converted apartments or hotels, so most have private baths.   My kids visited on admitted student days.  Chose other schools and were surprised at how small the rooms were in comparison.

GW shows of their dorms while many schools do not.  A selling point for them. [/quote]
