    "I really enjoyed my time living here. The rooms are huge and have nice hardwood floors. The community is solid too"

    "The suite-style housing sounds like a good idea, but really the bathrooms are very small and gross. Also, my suite had eight girls sharing one toilet and two VERY small showers. We also had to clean it ourselves. My room was awesome. It was super big and had a fairly spacious closet. The AC was only from a unit, not central AC, but it did the job. Wilson's location is the best on East Campus, right between the bus stop and Marketplace. Also, the basketball players live in this dorm. It's not a bad dorm, but because of the bathroom I would not recommend this dorm to a friend."

    "Practically bug-free, long and open rooms, mirrors, very conveniently attached to GA down under (meaning you can actually print things or go up to your room at night), two kitchens, study areas all on first floor and GADU, has its own bus stop, central AC, no hard to clean carpet, handicap access bathrooms, multiple entrances and exits (depending on your late-to-class needs), distanced from main quad so quiet on Shooters nights, closer to 9th street/whole foods, multiple laundry rooms, ice machine (hidden away a bit in GADU but explore), big glass doors at main entrances so its easier to get help if you get locked out (will happen) There is technically an elevator but it is only used for package/mail delivery"

    "Best location on East, hands down. Small dorm so the community is built quickly. Most people are also in the FOCUS."

    "My corner room was HUGE (some rooms are smaller), bathrooms were renovated a couple years ago and are much nicer than neighboring Alspaugh and Bassett. In-room AC for now which is certainly better than nothing. AMAZING location, right next to MP and not to far from the bus stop. Smaller dorms also have better communities usually."
