Emerson Hall

Emerson Hall is a fine dorm situated just Northwest of campus. It is part of the Cuarto area. Living situation is suite-style, with 4-6 people to a suite. Sometimes crazy things end up in the pool, like shopping carts, road signs, fish, or bicycles. Freshmen have way too much time on their hands.

Emerson is home to several theme programs, including the Science Academic Theme Program, the Health Science Academic Theme Program, the Leadership program, and EOP program.

Emerson has been known for its false fire alarms. Firefighters have been known to pull sleepy freshman out of bed.

The closest DC is the Oxford Circle Dining Commons, which has a reputation for making one's clothes smell bad.

• Suite-style dormitory buildings provide a common area (lounge) in each suite
  

• Right next to the University Mall, home of The Old Teahouse, Subway, Game Stop, World Market, etc.
  

• Next to Oxford Circle Park (home of the big kid playground & frisbee golf!).
  

• The B and C bus lines stop right outside of Cuarto!
  

• Offers more privacy than traditional dorms such as Segundo and Tercero do.
  

• All Cuarto buildings have a pool and a hot tub. And all of Tercero and Segundo are jealous of the hot tub.
  

• You share a bathroom with two to three other people.

• You are responsible for maintaining your own bathroom.
  

• Suite-style dormitory does not offer the same open-door policy traditional dorms foster. This may make socializing more difficult for some people, as people tend to bond more with their suitemates. But really, keep your door open and walk around and invite yourself over to other suites, people love the company and voila you have new friends.
  

• Smaller and less modern dining commons (compared to Segundo or Tercero).
  

• Off-campus. (Approximately a two to three minute bike ride to campus, and approximately a five to ten minute bike ride to classrooms.)

The Common Room

There are two laundry rooms on the ground level. One in the very corner of poolside and the other on grass side is located on what is known as the "lego", because protrudes out of the main structure into the courtyard and is red. You can just claim a locker to put your detergent by putting a lock on it.

2009-08-31 22:49:45   I heard that one room in each of the cuarto suites has its own bathroom. Is this true? If yes, In the Emerson suites is it room A, B, or C that has its own bathroom attached? —allison2013
