Since I went and found out for myself, I might as well tell you guys. Shalom and New college are mostly lived in by studious types and don't do much of the partying thing. Shalom has a new wing with REALLY swish rooms - each has its own nsuite, but they cost $359 a week. The rooms in the old wing have shared bathrooms, but each room has its own hot/cold sink, and these rooms are $299. The rooms are pretty spacious and have spiffy computer chairs. The only really Jewish thing about Shalom college is the food - they serve to a fully Kosher diet. Overall, it's really good if you're like me and haven't worked for 8 years but want to get MED
