In my opinion, this is the best dorm on the entire campus! A small 70-person community that is always very, very strong, building friendships and activities. The politically-charged vegetarian/vegan co-op in the basment guarantees a loose, friendly co-op feel to the whole building. Fairkid tends to get a 'Harkness-lite' reputation, but frankly, drugs aren’t really a big problem, and the people here always seem to be very nice. Fairchild is proof that even with all new students, dorms still keep their character. The lounge is beautiful, and there’s a deck you can actually use. The rooms are the same size as Dascomb, but they feel much nicer. The showers are group (gym-style) and are often voted to be gender-neutral, but frankly, I’ve never found this to be a problem. With the curtains, I have yet to ever see another person in the shower. If you have a choice, live on the second or third floor, they have much more community than the first, which opens onto the lobby. --

decent-sized rooms, a pretty consistently good community. The co-op in the basement guarantees a constant vegan hippie presence. One of the best lounges, complete with piano and patio in the back. --jude [2]
Tinyass kitchens. Nice RAs. --anonymous
