We have fantastic dorm rooms. Other residential colleges like to say that what they lack in living conditions, they make up for in spirit!... but as Wiess has more spirit than any of the other's, this simply isn't possible!
All dorms at Wiess are suite-style living - meaning that aside from the actual rooms with beds, there is a common room and a bathroom shared between members of the suite. The majority of dorms at Wiess come in two four-person varieties - Singles and Doubles. Doubles, typically inhabited by freshmen and sophomores who manage to get on campus living, have 2 rooms of about 20 ft x 10 ft. Singles have 4 rooms approximately 10ft x 10ft. They are coveted by the upperclassmen - the good news is that in the past only 1 room's worth of juniors has had to live in doubles.
There are two other styles of rooms that Wiess has: the 3-mans, and the 5-man. The 3-man is 3 singles with the normal accommodations. The 5-man has 3-singles and 1 double - that being said, at new Wiess the 5-man has already gained some grand traditions.
As far as general description goes:

As far as general description goes:
- Almost all suites have a linolium / coated floor in the common room and carpet in the actual rooms.
