Student Commentary:
"Lewis has great big windows and nice doubles. I like the fact that it has three showers instead of two--plus the rooms are a bit bigger on the freshman quad than in McMather." -Anon Freshman.

"Living there was ok, the rooms were really big. The windows let in a lot of natural light."-Anon Soph. (who lived in Lewis)
