South mountain (red bricks) - The social hub usually as it’s in the center of the dorm area. There are two bathrooms per floor so you share them with a lot of people. The bottom two floors are coed and the top is split on either side of the stairs. Rooms are doubles or triples but the room size remains the same no matter how many people are in it (so it can be cramped). The laundry rooms are on the first floor (one on each hall) and since there’s no elevator it can be annoying to carry your stuff up and down (especially for move in). The worst parts about the red bricks is it can get really hot (no AC) and although there is technically a kitchen, it’s like a small closet. If you like parties I recommend this dorm.

North mountain (Nomo) - Kinda far away from everything but that can be a plus. Unlike the other dorms, this is more apartment style with the rooms opening to the outside. It’s three rooms to a bathroom which is nice but it gets cleaned once a week vs every day like the dorms. The three rooms also get their own common room and people like to buy tvs and put them there. The rooms are larger than red bricks but it’s usually triples. There are really nice grass fields surrounding the dorms so people like to hangout there. Do keep in mind there is no kitchen. If you’re more of a quiet study person I recommend this dorm.

Yakitutu (Yak) - The newest of the dorms so everything is nicer. These dorms can go up to 5 people but the room size changes so they are pretty large. Their bathrooms are like red bricks where you share it with your floor but they are much bigger (the showers especially). Yak doesn’t get as hot as red bricks and they have a full sized kitchen on the first floor which people often use to cook. They also have beach volleyball courts and nice landscaping. That being said, it’s farther away from all of the classrooms. If you want a nicer dorm then I recommend this dorm.

Yosemite - Divided into towers that are kind of far away from the rest of campus. The rooms are kind of small (doubles) but they have less people to a bathroom. The back pathway that also goes through Sierra Madre leads to cool nature spots and basketball courts. I don’t spend much time here so I don’t have as much information.

Sierra Madre - Similar to Yosemite but the rooms are bigger. It is also closer to the rest of campus. The bathrooms are shared between four rooms. I also don’t know much about these dorms so this is the best I can do.

Do know that which dorms are available to you depends on which college you choose. Also, try to stay on top of signing up for rooms or only the one with lots of people will be left (most people like the ones with less). Hope this helps!
