What residents say

“Definitely the biggest thing for me is just the size of the room. They’re gigantic. I’ve been to Willard, and I thought they had huge rooms. But then I came to Rogers, and they just blew me away.”

Isaac Simmers, RTVF freshman

“I really like the gender segregated floors because it’s definitely much more comfortable as a girl walking to and forth from the bathroom. I’m not embarrassed about having a towel turban and face mask on. I feel like if I knew there were guys walking around, I might be just a little less comfortable to just feel safe and feel at home.”

Sarah Feeney, Weinberg sophomore

“I like that it's small. I think that's really nice, and I like the location of it. The sorority quads look nice.”

Ryan Lammers, RTVF freshman

“It’s a big isolated at times. Most people don’t get to know their hallmates that well. I wouldn’t say Rogers is the most social dorm, but it’s definitely a very nice dorm.”

Alex Chandran, Weinberg freshman

“As a freshman in fall quarter, I really didn’t like living at Rogers because there weren’t a lot of social events or anything, and I felt like people at other dorms were a lot closer and were friends with each other. ”

Nirma Amarakoon, Weinberg freshman
