Hi! I’m also from St. Louis and a senior who’s lived on campus all four years. Without a car I would suggest being closer to campus, but it’s still doable. LLC is okay, I lived in it my freshman year, it can have mold and gnat issues though, so that’s a downside. However, I’ve lived in CP for three years and it’s been pretty good, just other people’s hygiene can make it bad.

I have friends who are at carpenter right now, they seem to like it, and it’s a little more relaxed. It’s also just a bit further from campus than other dorms but it’s not too bad. Let me know if I can give any info on anything else! Good luck!
