Lived in a B room and it was a fine size with good lighting. The ambience and environment of shippee was a lot of fun and I made a lot of my long lasting friends here. The only major grievance I had was that a lot of dust would build up due to the material of the ceiling. It would peel and chip off ...

Shippee's atmosphere was the best part of my college experience!! Met all my friends here and had so many memories. C rooms have their own bathroom which you'll never have again in on campus dorms so def take advantage of that if possible. Seriously recommend if you are a freshman and need to make f...

Not a bad place for freshman dorms but could be a lot better. A+B rooms are pretty small so definitely utilize under-the-bed space for storage.

C Room (private bathroom and larger room) is the make or break factor. Marginally better than other freshman housing but the location isn’t great for classes.

Okay dorm building. Mainly freshman. I would recommend Buckley next door as it is basically the same building, but with a larger laundry room, and the dining hall is downstairs (even though it's a bad dining hall).

If you can get a C room they are significantly bigger and have a private bathroom, otherwise the normal rooms are pretty small and the laundry room does not have enough machines for the building. There are no study lounges, just a basement with a few tables
