Once dubbed the biggest party dorm in America, Bobb-McCulloch is one of Northwestern students’ favorite residence halls. Often competitive with the all freshmen Elder Residential Community, Bobb residents contend that it is far superior, due to its closer proximity to dining halls, fun atmosphere and a notable presence of upperclassmen. With a prime location inside the fraternity quad, Bobb residents have easy access to a fun nightlife – at least a few nights a week. Residents, however, often use the study lounges to do homework in groups and hang out together. Its only downfalls are the smell, its dirtiness and subpar facilities.
“This dorm is honestly just disgusting and past its prime.”
Ella Carr, Weinberg freshman
“ Bobb has honestly been a great place to live freshman year. It's kind of gross but not nearly as gross as people make it out to be, and everyone is really nice and friendly and fun. ”
Eliana Galperin, School of Communciation freshman
“It is what you make it to be. It's great that everyone is very friendly and social. However, the amenities aren't great and you have to turn a blind eye to them.”
Aaron Kamel, Weinberg freshman
“ Bobb is a great place, maybe not the cleanest, but it’s where I met my best friends and I loved living here my freshman year.”
Ethan Trokie, McCorkmick freshman
