    Tri Towers - Wright

    based on 1 review

    "Overall, the worst tri tower. Furthest from everything, not connected to the dining hall, no mail room, no subway, no cool light bridge. The only benefit was that our fire alarm went off 4 times over the span of the year rather than 40.

    The rooms are reasonably sized, and you definitely have to personalize them to make em feel better, but unless you feel like junior/lofting or bunking your beds you're not gonna have much space at all.

    The busses fill at cardinal, so good luck catching a bus for your 8 am that isnt a 7am bus." - 1 year ago

    Hewett Hall

    based on 2 reviews

    "The walls are as thin as paper and the bathrooms are always dirty. There’s never enough dryers and you have to walk to get breakfast, lunch, and dinner at watty, rain or shine or blizzard. If you choose hewett and you’re a girl like me, choose an all girls floor. Co ed floors smell funky and guys left trash/condoms/food in the hall. I had to live in this hell hole for three semesters and it was the worst." - 1 year ago

    Manchester Hall

    based on 1 review

    "The elevators go down at least once a month, and there’s no connected dining hall. However, there is a subway, tutoring, a gym, and a kitchen. This hall holds mostly TLLC floors, so you’ll meet a lot of different people in your community or others." - 1 year ago

    Watterson Towers

    based on 4 reviews

    "I lived in a single dorm room in Watterson and I really liked the room overall. The room was pretty spacious and had pretty of natural light and a nice view. It was relatively quiet compared to other dorms I’ve lived in. There is a good amount of closet space as well. I liked the setup of the bathrooms in this dorm, though others might not.
    On to the building itself. The elevators in this building don’t stop on every floor, so you’ll have to either go up or down the stairs to get to your floor. The fire alarms go off pretty often which doesn’t take long to get annoying.
    A nice thing about this dorm is that it is connected to one of the dining centers so you don’t need to leave the building to get food. There is also a Subway connected. " - 2 years ago
