Bwog Recommendations:

  • River Hall is a good option if you can’t get EC, and it’s not far from Riverside
  • If you want a quieter option, River is a great option
  • River Hall is not far from campus: half a block from Broadway is not bad at all.
  • You can make River Hall as social as you want it to be!!

Resident Opinions:

  • River is a nice, quiet option for upperclassmen who want singles in a space that is semi corridor-ish and semi communal. It has really nice communal facilities with the privacy of corridor style single rooms.
  • River Hall is a great place all to itself just down a hill. The hill can be daunting on cold mornings, but the quiet and close proximity to Riverside Park for morning jogs is wonderful. The new facilities with a small group kitchen, bathrooms, and a common room are well-kept and inviting.
