The East Lothian Dorm has cozy, well-maintained rooms. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms came in clean and tidy.

Pretty little decent room. You have access to AC which you can control. The halls are nice. Lounge to interact with people in the halls. There's a dining hall in the same building which is good knowing you have close way of eating

The double occupancy room is a pretty fair amount of space, not crowded. It is pretty close to campus, it's a 10-15 min walk to class buildings. Expect restrooms to be a little dirty depending on who you live with. Probably one of the better dorms.

Bathrooms are stalls and showers are curtains while dundee has doors for both. East lothian triple deluxe is a bigger room than a regular triple so i...
