I loved living in Kerr Hall. No one ever mentions it but the closets in most of the dorms are huge (we put curtains on them and would change inside cause they’re so big). The building is old, but definitely has the most character and homey feeling of any dorm. My double had enough space for me and m...

I lived in a triple on the 6th floor during Fall 2019. It was cramped and it felt like they gave 3 guys the room meant for a double, and just called it a "triple." The halls smelled like weed 95% of the time, so do what you will with that information. The bathroom was pretty clean, but they gave the...

I lived in one of the bigger doubles in Kerr because it was a corner room. I got really lucky to have two windows on two different walls which was very convenient during early fall when it was hot and we needed air flow. The room itself is nothing special, gets a bit musty because it's carpeted but ...

My room was pretty small and it was way too hot year round, but being right by the fens was nice and I liked the bathrooms. Overall felt more close knit than some of the other freshman dorms

The building is kind of funky but some rooms are pretty big (mine wasn’t though), and overall I didn’t mind living here. the heat was really unpredictable all over the building and there were a ton of people who smoked and played instruments really loudly, which is a definite drawback, but it was th...

I loved kerr to death. I got lucky because i had one of the big double rooms. The room size does vary a lot, so you could have a very tiny room. This building definitely has character and a homey vibe, but the community is really what makes it special.(bring a fan, even in the winter sometimes the r...

I was excited to live in the music llc but did not expect kerr to be this crappy!!! the building was originally a hotel so it has a different set up than other dorms. there’s a practice room on the first floor but someone was always in there. I lived on the third floor and did not like it at all. ba...

Overall one of the better freshman options. Typically the Music LLC since there's a soundproof practice room on the first floor. Room sizes do vary but generally feels nice to live in compared to say Stetson's which feel very sterile.

I lived in an economy double which is tiny tiny and doesn't have much natural light. The hallway constantly smelled of weed so if that's your thing then great but it wasn't mine. The bathrooms are kept pretty clean and there's two laundry machines on each floor which is more convenient than having t...

The location is pretty cool and I liked being over on that edge of campus, but it doesn't feel like it's actually "on campus." The bathrooms were nice, never an issue with that. My room, however, was wayyy too small for three people. Some rooms are better than others with Kerr, and mine was long and...
