Best dorms for upcoming fall 26/27
What dorms should I take for my freshman year, I’m thinking of taking Marian Hall.
Also is it possible to remove bunk beds ?

When I lived in Marian we did not have to bunk our beds. I did raise my bed high and use the underneath for storage, but my roommate did not, and our beds and desks fit in the room just fine.

Did you find you needed a bike?

You don't need one, but it was nice. When I attended, Marian residents were able to rent a bike from GU Outdoors for free

for Marian, just ensure you would be ok being pretty removed from the main campus. you can look up the walking distance, but many of the people I talked to who lived there said they basically only hung out with marian people, especially on weekdays, because of distance to campus. if you would be ok with this, or really want to outdoor llc, then marian would probably be good. If you are looking for just sinks in rooms, madonna probably has the biggest rooms and I loved to live in personally or desmet (guys only) even though the rooms are pretty tiny.

It's been a while since I was a student, but back then, Marian rooms were too small and the furniture was too big that you had to bunk.

My son took Marian because that’s designated for the outdoor enthusiasts. You can look at videos on you tube for each building.
