Best University of Oregon Dorms

"This specific room was a great size for a double and had a sink as well which was convenient. It is located right across from the showers and restrooms which made it all the more convenient to use those facilities. The only issues include the extreme noise pollution (even with the windows closed), due to not only the thinness off the walls and window panes but the location as well; the hall is situated in an area that is abundant in fraternity and sorority houses, so nights can be pretty loud, but it is easy to adjust and desensitize yourself to. The location of the specific room itself is also a contributing factor to the outside noise pollution due to the windows facing the front of the building rather than the back which faces a parking garage and parking lot. The showers are unsightly, but get the job done. The restrooms are decent. Being on the second floor makes it a short and easy walk up and down the stairs instead of the elevator (which is sort of slow). The kitchenette was cute, and the common areas aren't as "pretty" as the ones that the other residence halls may have, but the atmosphere is quaint, and it's a bit easier to build community. There's a basketball court and a cute courtyard in the middle of the building which is inviting and pretty. The laundry room is fine, but the laundry app doesn't always work quite how it should (can provide inaccuracies in machine availability and may not give you the $5 that should come with your school account). There are vending machines in the lobby, and the basement is a decent place for social gatherings. The EMX Eugene and Springfield busses also stop right in front of this hall which makes it super easy to commute to and from campus. "

"Good size of room. Lots of storage. Room sizes vary. Communal Bathrooms. Have to go across the lawn to get mail and food."

"The room was really small and the windows are tiny and squished to the sides. But it was usually a nice temperature and the bathrooms are super nice. They’re gender neutral so they’re essentially just private bathrooms that will almost always be free. The communal spaces were nice and there are kitchens to use downstairs!"

"GHS is one of the nicer dorms building at UO. The rooms are pretty new and well maintained. The food hall is GHS is also really good with a pasta bar and solid deli with lots of options. Rooms vary on size. My room had it's own sink which was super convenient so you didn't always have to go down the hall to the bathroom. Con would be the building is on the edge of campus so your walks to classes are a bit longer compared to buildings like LLC, Carson, etc. "

"I enjoy living at Kalapuya because the rooms include their own private bathrooms in each room and the building is fairly modern and up to date considering they are one of the newest dorms. The only con I would point out is how it is at the edge of campus making it a walk from most things. "
