Number 4

"1st floor is absolute hell, first semester during my final exams a pipe burst had to move out, second semester same thing happened and me and my roommates personal items were damaged by the water but we recieved no compensation because apparently the contract that we have no power to negotiate states that you have to have insurance. Pro tip buy renters insurance from a reputable company nearby. First-floor bathrooms are shared with the people next door pray that they are clean people because the people I had to live with were horrible, their towels smelled putrid as you walked by to use the toilet they would leave hampers in the shared bathroom and when the maintenance team told them not to put it there they began to leave clothing on the bathroom floor in piles. The smell go so bad I had to buy air fresheners which did not help by the way and this is not even mentioning the black mold that appeared after winter break which got so bad that the walls and ceiling were covered in it. Overall pray you are lucky to not get bad suitemates and not get the first floor. The room itself was not the worst however Davidson is a better choice." - 1 year ago

Number 3

"There are large singles and small singles- I had a large. Everyone who ever came into that room told me how cute it was. There’s two large windows, AC and heat, and plenty of space to move around. The only part I didn’t like was the bathrooms. There’s two stalls shared between 12 people, which can become a hassle in the morning. Some people were extremely messy. Also, I was unfortunate in that we didn’t have enough girls to split the bathrooms by gender, so I had to deal with beard clippings and pubes everywhere. The awful bathroom was absolutely worth it for the room and distance to campus." - 4 years ago

Number 2

"Cary hall makes up for in personality what it lacks in style. It's the best by far for those who are cultured enough to realize it. Barton shmarton, Cary will live on. " - 11 months ago

Number 1

"Warren is spilt in half with a wall that acts as a 2 closets on one side and a peg board on the other. It feels like 2 singles and the in-room bathroom is really convenient. the room is larger than double rooms in bray, cary, etc. but the wall in the middle doesn’t really make it feel like that. the room is great day to day but it’s not great for having friends over. the lounge isn’t great but there are other places to study. the biggest downside is no ac. Warren is definitely one of the best dorms for freshmen " - 10 months ago
