Elder Residential Community is a large, coed, all-freshman dorm located on North Campus. Elder houses about 345 freshmen, and the residential community is close to the fraternities and Tech, which houses many science and engineering classes. Elder also has a dining hall in its basement. Social community-sponsored activities include weekly munchies and a formal in the fall.
“The dining hall in Elder doesn't much variety. The foods isn't awful but it gets old really quickly.”
Sandie Xu, Weinberg freshman
“I love Elder because it’s fantastic for making new friends—doors are open pretty much all fall quarter. Winter quarter when everyone rushes though, that’s when it changes.”
Kevin Zellers, McCormick freshman
“I love it because everyone is constantly down to socialize.”
James Rovituso, Weinberg freshman
“Elder has been a great community thus far and there is definitely a reason behind why it’s the most desired dorm to live in, especially freshman year. There are conveniently placed lounges on each floor that make it easy to meet the new, friendly people who are just as eager to meet new people and make friends as you are. I mostly love elder because the CAs, the faculty in residence and Dan the residential director recognize the importance of maintaining a cohesive community throughout the only all-freshman dorm on campus.”
Nathan Moxon, Weinberg freshman
