Best Case Western Reserve University Dorms

"In terms of housing for first-year students, Tyler House is above-average. The rooms were decently sized and Tyler House is one of the newer buildings so it didn't feel like you were in a prison compared to other first-year buildings. It is also located between the dining hall for North Residential and academic buildings, which makes it great."

"You have to find people to share a suite with in the spring of your freshman year. You are assigned your floor and suite the fall of sophomore year. 11 floors. 4 suites a floor. 8 people a suite. In my year there, freshman took up 3 floors and sophomores took up 8 floors. Laundry and kitchen (in basement) don’t have a long wait. Far walk from the quad (primarily math and science buildings) You may use shuttles. They run morning till night. —————- Story time: I was walking down juniper road on my way back from the law school (I used the library there). I was literally *30* feet away from the entrance to Northside (freshman and sophomore dorm village). There was an iffy guy walking a little ways in front of me. I felt uncomfortable. Luckily a car shone its light at him and he went away. ————— Northside is near a White rich people’s club, and behind it a not-so-rich Black neighborhood. Segregation at it’s best."

"Usually had to wait for laundry. I believe 4 washers, 4 dryers. 4 floors, 4 suites a floor, 9 people a suite. Good amount of bathrooms and showers. Good amount of storage (in 2015). Good amount of common areas. Bike room with vending machine. Can ask housing staff to rearrange your bed, they will do it while you’re gone in classes. If you live on fourth floor, remember your card and keys in the morning! All freshman dorms surround Leutner dining hall and Wade commons. Wade commons has a package receiving mail room, housing services, and study rooms for SI sessions and club events. SI - supplemental instructor"

"Pros: - Own bedroom with full size bed - Bathroom shared with usually just 3 people - Close to Leutner "
