My daughter looked at both SRD and Hardin House (where I lived freshman year). SRD is wonderful, and many girls live there beyond freshman year; Hardin House doesn't seem to have been significantly updated since the early '80s when I lived there, and it's usually a freshman-year place to live; that said, it's perhaps more intimate than SRD, and its location in West Campus makes it convenient to almost every sorority at UT. And the food is wonderful at both. I think it boils down to personal preference, and in many cases, family tradition.
