Best Stanford Dorms

"The RFs are stellar and super hands on. You get all sorts of fascinating discussions with some very interesting people. However, the building is old and designed for grad students so it isn't very nice. Community is severely lacking."

"Narnia is a senior housing. The building surrounds a courtyard in the middle. The rooming situation is essentially two adjoining singles with one entrance. This means that one room has a lot of privacy and the other, with the door that leads to the greater dorm area has much less privacy. The bathrooms are decent, with two per floor. But there is only one toilet and two showers per bathroom. The kitchen is large and spacious, with a decent sized pantry. The location leaves much to be desired. It's rumoured that the dorm is called Narnia because it's so far away from everything. It's about a 15 minute walk to tressider and depending on where your classes are, you could be walking anywhere from 10-30 minutes. You could opt to cycle, Narnia has a bike rail outside and that would cut down your travel time by a lot. The courtyard is a nice touch, there are a few hammocks, some picnic tables and a few benches. There are trees and other flora so if you have allergies it might not be the best place for you. One thing to note is that Narnia has a reputation as the stoner house, so if you're not into that this may not be the place for you."

"Amazing location on campus, few minutes away from Main Quad by walking and even less by bike. Dining hall is alright usually, but weekend brunch specials are top tier. Bathrooms are almost always clean. Downside: Laundry. Donner shares its laundry facilities with another dorm in Stern, yet the laundry is limited to seven washers and eight dryers. The dryers tend to go out of commission from misuse, but as of writing, half of the dryers are currently broken."

"In EVGR you get your own restroom and living room space. However, if you're looking to build a community with your dorm, this isn't the dorm for you and it's kind of hard to meet new people. On the other hand, there are study rooms on every floor and dance/workout rooms. "

"Relatively small rooms. I recommend playing around with the furniture layout to maximize the space that you can actually move around in. Each suite is either 4 or 6 people, although there are two 8 man suites I think, which are just 2 4-person suites stacked on top of each other. Everyone has their own room. Having a common room is the biggest draw here. It comes with couches and a coffee table. Bathroom is large, though it's just a shower, a toilet, and two sinks. Suites dining has gone downhill since RDE took it over. It's basically Ricker but worse and with more snacks. Super nice to be near AEORC and the engineering quad. Suites field is great for drinking and vibing. Overall - highly recommend."
