BBB (Brewster, Boland and Brockway Halls)
If you want exercise, live at BBB. There are more steps and steeper steps (leading up to the College of Law), than those going up to The Mount. Steps aside, the rooms look like semi-swanky apartments, complete with huge windows showcasing the underbelly of Syracuse.

THE MOUNT (Day and Flint Halls)
Home to the majority of SU's freshmen population - here you will find a breeding ground for typical first-year, short-lasting friendships, a crash course in college weekends (complete with carpets that smell of vomit for a week) and the early morning, ear-grinding sounds of Graham delivery trucks, if you live on the side closest to the dining hall. Bonus: the rooms and closet space are slightly bigger than most doubles on campus.
Flint
Built: 1956
Residents: 527 undergraduates
Who lives here: Mainly freshmen
Number of floors: Four
Gender organization: Coed by alternating rooms
Number of suites: None
Day

Who lives here: Mainly freshmen
Number of floors: Eight
Gender organization: Coed by alternating rooms
Number of suites: None
BOOTH/DELLPLAIN/HAVEN
For starters, the location is better than most on campus, as it's on the main drag. Construction on a new dorm in front of DellPlain might prove annoying. However, you are guaranteed to wake up on time every day, as work on the newest dorm often begins early in the morning.
