Spruce

In Spruce, you might even forget that you're in a college residence hall—at least that's what the residents tell us. Not only are the facilities top-notch, but it's right across the street from Forest Quad Dining Hall. And, living up to its name, Spruce has beautiful wooded landscaping that's worth checking out.
