Living in Miller Hall: what to know before you pack
The room
Miller is the third hall of the 2013 Pembroke Quad renovation, and with Metcalf it carries a LEED Gold rating. The project converted singles to doubles, so rooms are mostly two-person with all-new finishes and systems. Beds are the Brown-standard XL Twin with 11 inches of clearance underneath — flat under-bed bins fit; deep ones don't.
Day to day
Communal bathrooms, fully redone in the renovation. Miller and Metcalf were historically connected at certain levels, but the renovation deliberately made them independent buildings to create smaller living communities — Miller residents consistently rank it among the most desirable freshman assignments at Brown.
Move-in day
Elevator in the building, Pembroke Quad location, Andrews Commons dining next door at Andrews. On cooling: no official confirmation that Miller's renovation included AC, so pack the fan — Providence Augusts don't forgive optimism.
