Freshman dorms.  That phrase alone is usually enough to send you running and screaming in the other direction.  Do visions of dimly lit rooms and the dreaded community bathrooms come to mind?  Well, if it makes you feel any better, the dorms at Lyon really aren’t that bad.  The four freshman dorms (Love, Bryan, Blandford and Spragins) compose “The Quad”, so you’re located within a few seconds of your fellow classmates.  Yeah, the rooms may seem small at first, but you’d be amazed at all the things that can be crammed into closets and drawers.  And community bathrooms are, in my opinion, a blessing rather than a curse.  If you share a bathroom with suitemates, you are responsible for keeping that bathroom clean.  Blandford, Love, and Bryan all contain community bathrooms which are cleaned by the housekeeping staff at least twice a day!
