Best Virginia Tech Dorms

"Very good location for sporting events, classes, and dining halls. Somewhat far from classes but there is a bus stop nearby and the walks themself aren't bad. Also has great amenities too along with an A/C system with individual room settings you can adjust. Some rooms are different with private baths, more space, and layouts though so hard to find a good room without knowing the dorm itself. Special amenities that are available: - some have private bathroom but not all - private gym - private theater"

"I liked having an all female dorm! The bathrooms were cleaned often and each one did have a shower room with locking door if curtains made you nervous. Ratio of bathrooms to residents was great and the rooms were all relatively spacious for Virginia Tech and had a sink. As far as location my dorm had a perfect view of Burrus and was located conveniently in the middle of campus. There was only one kitchen for all floors to share so I would recommend bringing a mini fridge/microwave."

"Two volleyball courts right outside of the dorm! Was only hot without AC for roughly the first two weeks of school, which wasn’t an issue. Great location for access to the Library, Drillfield, Owens Food Court, and Hokie Grill dining halls. Closest dorm to get downtown (roughly a 3 minute walk). Great kitchen in the dorm and 3 different hang-out/study lounges on top of the kitchen! Absolutely loved it!"

"Harper is a 4-floor suite style dorm with the Mozaiko Living Learning Program on the 3rd and 4th floors and the Cranwell International Center on the 1st floor. Each suite comes with a bathroom to be shared among the suitemates (4-6 people, with 2-3 doubles in each suite) and a common room. The bathrooms are not cleaned by housing, however they come with 2 toilets, 2 sinks, and 2 showers each. The common rooms come with a low table, an upholstered couch and chair, and a wooden rocking chair. There are modern kitchens on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors attached to the big lounge. The majority of the students who live in Harper are a part of Mozaiko, however non LLP members are usually international students, athletes, and upperclassmen. Harper is known to be a quiet residence hall with little social interaction, though there are many cultural events and regular activities held throughout the year. The building is notably further away than other residence halls from both dining halls and the academic side of campus, but West End is right next door and D2 isn't even a 2 minute walk away. If you're looking for a quiet, air conditioned dorm and don't mind a little extra walking to get where you're going or paying a bit more for the luxury, then Harper is the dorm for you."

"Air conditioning during the hot months was fantastic. Suite style dorm with the most common set up being 3 bedrooms (2 people each), 1 common living room, and 1 big bathroom per suite. The bathroom had 2 toilets, 2 sinks, and 2 showers. I am considering this setup "private bathroom" because it is not one of the larger community bathrooms in other dorms. Housekeeping would clean the bathroom regularly."
