Best WPI Dorms

"Big rooms with windows that actually open (unlike all other halls). On the first floor the ceiling in the rooms is crazy high. Great community feel and is literally one minute from academic buildings."

"Faraday Hall features apartment style rooms that have their own kitchen and bathroom. You can either get a single or have a quad that's split into two singles and a double. Somewhat far from classes so it sucks a bit to walk but it also has its own parking lot, which is a plus."

"Messenger doubles aren't too bad - while they are relatively small, they have AC, and come with decent furniture. The AC is mapped to the outside temperature, and while you have a thermostat in your room, it's a glorified display, and doesn't allow you to control your room's temperature. The temperature range in the rooms never leaves the 60s, which is fine in the winter, but it gets chilly when you're wearing shorts and a T-shirt in the summer. Since Messenger is new (as of 2018-19) the furniture is in good shape, and is an adequate amount of storage for your average college student. Each floor has two washers and three dryers, same models as in Daniels. Each floor also has two tech suites, which are nice if you need to get some work done in relative isolation. While they aren't truly soundproof, they work well enough. The communal bathrooms are nice, and well-maintained, and the hot water never really runs out, even on the fifth floor. Messenger also has two common rooms per floor, one overlooking the quad, and one overlooking the campus center. The larger quad-side common rooms provide a nice view over (you guessed it) the quad, excellent for counting the number of pre-frosh that step on the seal during move-in. The CC-side common rooms have better seating for watching movies or TV with friends, and are also where the elevators that connect the floors are located."

"Small floors of ~25 people make for a cozy and kind atmosphere of friends. Nice bright rooms and just outside of the quad so it is not too loud"

"If you can get a single, these dorms are great and new. The double was enough space for two people with all the down sides of having a roommate. Conference rooms and rec rooms are a great benefit."
