Although StuVi may be new and fancy, Shelton is old money and old glamour — it was one of the first Sheraton hotels ever built. Bathrooms are attached to each suite and there is a gorgeous study hall on the top floor. The dining hall is small, but still has a good variety of food and does not get too crowded. The floors are a mix of years, but houses mostly sophomores and juniors, and the friendliness varies.
This is a fabulous article! I wish I would have had this easy guide when I was picking where to live on campus. Great work!!!
