Bwog recommendation:

Hewitt is not quite as bad as some would have you believe. It’s a fairly quiet environment, with nice views of Riverside or the Quad. Although it lacks A/C, the convenience of living right on campus cannot be understated. It’s amazing to wake up at 8:30 for your first class of the day. And if you’re not a chef, you probably won’t mind not having access to a kitchen. On the other hand, the required 150 Flex Meal Plan is pretty brutal. The rooms are a nice size, but the bathrooms can be … something.

Resident opinions:

• I love having a view of the river!
• As an introvert, I like that no one cares what I’m doing.
• Pretty old and gross.
