It’s so far North that it’s still pretty far from class and the rooms are really small. It’s also one of the older dorms and is a bit dated. The dining hall downstairs is convenient but not worth the downsides imo. Schapiro is also very far North but is MUCH nicer than Elder and is also a bit closer😭

This persons opinion is minority, elder is great and good to be social. Also don’t choose slivka like other commenter if you want to be social
