Curious about the Coolest Dorms in America!

Okay, this might seem a bit off-beat, but I'm curious. I know college is about education and all, but I also want to have a good time. Does anyone know which colleges have the coolest or most unique dorms?

Definitely, having comfortable and interesting living spaces can contribute a lot to your overall college experience. Here are a few college dorms that stand out for their unique features:

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has a dorm named Simmons Hall which is quite unique. This dormitory is a large, poured concrete structure that looks like a giant cheese grater, earning it the nickname "The Sponge". But beyond its quirky exterior, Simmons Hall offers a blend of private and communal spaces perfect for studying and socialization.

2. Bowdoin College has unique and eco-friendly dorms. The college has been consistently praised for its dedication to sustainable living. One of their dormitory complexes, Roux Center for the Environment, is LEED Platinum certified for its green design and operations.

3. University of Chicago has a unique housing model. They have what they call "houses" within their dormitories, each with its own traditions, building community within larger residence halls. One dorm, Max Palevsky Residential Commons, looks like it was constructed out of Lego blocks, giving it an iconic presence on campus.

4. Ohio's Kenyon College dorms have gained attention for their Gothic architectural design, particularly the Old Kenyon Residence Hall.

5. Princeton University boasts the Whitman College dormitory designed by the same architect as Disneyland's Cinderella Castle.

Remember, while these "cool" dorms can add to your experience, also consider the academic programs, facilities, campus culture, and financial aid offerings a school has. Choosing a college involves balancing many factors, and student housing is just one aspect of that.
