Village A among top party dorms, Darnall one of the worst

Posted by: Geoffrey Bible in News, Vox Populi, tags: , ,

DormSplash.com, a new website that allows students to review their dorms, recently published its first ever Dormy Awards.

The Village A apartment complex took sixth place in the best party dorm category, while first place went to the Briscoe-Shoemaker dorm at the University of Indiana-Bloomington.

Although top “honors” went to Garner Hall at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Georgetown’s Darnall Hall placed third in the worst dorm rankings.

The rankings, however, might be a bit questionable.

Only 7,100 reviews have been submitted for the website. The rankings of certain schools might be due to the site offering a “massive cupcake party” for the school with the most reviews.

    This site strike me as haphazard, undergraduate over zealousness. Do we really need another site like this?

    The results speak to how dumb this site is.

    [...] sure the methodology was careful and highly scientific—Georgetown came out with the honor of two “dormies”: Darnall as third on the “worst” list, and the Village A apartment complex as number [...]
