  • Number 5

    Letts Hall

    based on 2 reviews

    "Worse than Anderson, had worse lounges, and in addition, a bunch of kids' rooms had rats or green mold

    Bathrooms also weren't private, and the showers often ran out of hot water in the evenings." - 4 years ago

    Anderson Hall

    based on 5 reviews

    "Lived here as a freshman, the renovations are pretty nice if you use the lounges a lot (especially the kitchen), but other than that, pretty standard residence hall. A/C was finicky which sucked for the first month or two but the heat was consistently good. Wouldn't recommend living in a triple in Andy as I had a lot of friends who did that and often fought over storage space, but for two people it's good enough. Also, go to Letts for laundry lol" - 4 years ago

    Centennial Hall

    based on 4 reviews

    "By far the best freshman dorm among Letts/Anderson/Centennial. The rooms are larger than the other freshman dorms and my room was in very good condition. Unfortunately, the lounge and kitchen were very dated (although they were initially scheduled to be remodeled this summer) compared to those in Anderson. Having a private bathroom is very nice and were generally in good condition. My floor did unfortunately have an incident with mold in the air ducts but after several days of repeated calls to facilities they came and thoroughly cleaned the entire floor's ducts and solved the problems. Other than that, the facilities team was great and repaired all issues that came up quickly. I would highly recommend this dorm to freshman who have the option." - 4 years ago

    Cassell Hall

    based on 3 reviews

    "Suite style with private bathroom, personal living room, and common room with kitchen. Difficult to meet others as low incentive for socializing in dorm. In-room lighting is poor so bring your own desk lamps or other decorative lights. Nice views from top floor of cathedral and VA, good air conditioning, close to classes, among the nicest dorms on campus." - 4 years ago

    "East campus is a great place for sophomores. There is a private bathroom and a common area that allows everyone to get to know each other. The furniture is also new and sturdy." - 4 years ago
