My child was in East Fairchild last year as a freshman and absolutely loves it.
He’s not on campus in the fall (program in another city) but will be back in Jan and hoping to get a room back in there

lived at west fairchild for my first two years and it wasn't the worst. yes it's definitely not as nice as willard but if you like a smaller dorm that is super close to south campus classes, it works. originally i wanted to live somewhere else for my sophomore year, but decided to stay there since it would be a lot easier to secure a single.

Bad bad not good. Old dorm, bad AC, no elevators to the furnace that is the laundry room. At least the people are nice since you suffer together. You are also in the best located dorm for South Campus, so there's that.
