Capstone is highly regarded as one of the most social dorms on campus, fostering a strong sense of community where almost everyone knows each other. The dorm's prime location is great for HRSM majors due to its proximity to Close Hipp, and having a dining hall conveniently within the building is a significant bonus. Built in the 70s, Capstone's age shows, particularly in the fickle state of the elevators, which have been known to cause inconvenience, although recent upgrades bring hope for improvement. The dorm's layout consists of semi-private bathrooms shared between two rooms, accommodating a total of four people. While spacious if organized efficiently, the rooms rely on cooperation with suitemates when it comes to cleanliness. The bathrooms, while functional, suffer from mediocre water pressure and lukewarm showers. Despite the building's age and typical dorm challenges, Capstone offers a vibrant community and remains one of the better dorm choices on campus for fostering social connections among students.
