October 4, 200519 yr Wow, that's a big project. I was at Ohio Northern just once, five or six years ago, and I probably saw the dorms but have no memory of what they are like.
October 4, 200519 yr I checked the ONU website and they had the press release, but no renderings or anything yet. I've never even been on the campus, so I don't have a clue.

September 1, 200618 yr Thank God. I visited there a long time ago when considering college and ONU had the absolute worst dorms I'd ever seen. It was just a really big, long connected building that housed ALL of their undergrads. It was cramped and poorly designed, and needless to say, I didn't go there.
