Living on Campus An Architectural History of the American Dormitory Carla Yanni 9781517904555 Books Reviews


  • The architecture of dormitories – what a great topic. This book is a whirlwind tour of three hundred years of educational history. The book traces the history of residence halls, looking at students who were included and excluded. There are terrific illustrations from many different archives. Nice color section in the middle. Anyone who ever lived in a dormitory should buy this book! It is well-written, too. No baggy scholarly prose or jargon. Highly recommend!
