Best Cal Poly SLO Dorms

"Classic dorm layout, very social and has the best location on campus, still near the main dining halls and shortest walks to the UU and classes!"

"Basic apartment. Pretty good isolation between units and nice complex. Most difficult to get to housing on campus though (greatest grade difference to campus)"

"Rooms are large and spacious. I’d say the bathroom situation is better than some of the other dorms like south mountain as at nomo it’s one bathroom every three rooms instead of a large communal one. This means you’re just sharing with your two neighbors which is nice. People tend to say nomo isnt as social as redbricks and while i do agree nomo can get pretty wild around holidays/weekends. Anyways 10/10 freshman experience here i’d recommend the corner rooms. Oh also not all the buildings have laundry so check on that too. I was in Lassen which didnt have its own laundry room but it was just a short walk to one of the neighboring buildings so i didnt really affect anything unless it was raining."

"Other than the higher price of living on campus again after first year compared to off-campus, PCV is a great option. Apartments come furnished, are provided biweekly cleaners, and free (single ply) toilet paper. There are also study rooms and community center, nearby parking garages, a pool, and a food/market. The walk to campus can be a trek but it’s also a nice separation between school and home."

"These dorms are the brand new, clean and modern with numerous lounge and study rooms. Biggest downside is that they’re on the very edge of campus and it can be a long walk to anything."
