Bwog Recommendations:

• If you don’t get an EC suite as a senior, 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 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.”
• “Really close to food options and supermarkets”
