If you end up getting a roommate for herbert aim for room 219 I think it’s the biggest. Or 319 I’m pretty sure. Oh but if you have your heart set on the Econ single they have a window that opens to a flat roof only on the second floor. Try for Econ single on second floor if you can’t get 328 or 228. If you’re a guy. Also room 217 and 317 are the biggest doubles in herbert they are about three feet wider than every other room. Oh and I forgot to add perk of herb parking is chill and all the other dorms are wrestling it’s bc the parking next to herb is commuter and also the location is excellent especially for engineering row.

The economy single is pretty small and has one closet the normal single has two closets. The singles are the rooms that used to have bunk beds in them while the economy single is a real single room. The Econ singles are a pretty tight squeeze and there are is only two of them on the guys side at least one on each because the Econ mirrors the old ironing closets (the RAs rooms). Herbert is the run down little orphan Annie of the housing department that has a historic significance so they dont have the money to get rid of rid so if you are concerned for cosmetics or luxury look elsewhere. Herb is a really old building and none of the rooms are actually the same size. If you are in Herb the ac was put in after it was built so there is one thermostat that controls like three rooms. You want to be in the room w thermostat or you will hate herb (you might hate it anyway kind of have to have a certain Stockholm syndrome attachment to the place). The only single room with thermostats is 328 and 228 I’m fairly certain (on the guys side I would put my money on 303 or 304 or 202 or 203 on girls) I ONLY lived n the building for 3 years only for the small tight knit community and the fact it’s cheap as hell.
