University of Alabama Freshman Dorms Ranked

Number 5

"An old dorm that is so quiet that many students don't even know it's a dorm. Apartment style is a big plus as you get a full kitchen. Bathrooms are fine, unlike most dorms it also has a bathtub. The only con is that it's old and a little further from the campus center." - 2 years ago

Number 4

"It is one of the honors dorms so one of the nicer ones. Since it only has honors students, it is pretty quiet. The rooms are spacious and suite-style. But, the walls are pretty thin, so you can hear your suitemates if they are talking. Also, it is on the expensive side at 4650$/semester. " - 2 years ago

Number 3

"Great location, especially for engineering classes. Closest dorm to lakeside dining hall at the time, just about now. Good times and had some great people living there. Pretty chill dorm" - 4 years ago

Number 2

"Stayed in a 4 person, suite style at Ridgecrest (meaning there were 4 total people in the unit, but I had my own bedroom and only shared a bathroom with one other person). It was fantastic for a freshman dorm. The rooms are fairly sized for a dorm, with plenty of storage/closet space. The bathroom is also a nice size with more than enough storage for 2 people. The unit also had a small kitchenette with a full sized fridge, microwave, and sink, as well as a common living room. Location wise: RCS is less than a 5 minute walk to the Ferguson Center and less than a 10 minute walk to most of the dining halls and the Quad." - 4 years ago

Number 1

"While the room itself was great, it was not very secure and had people coming/leaving at all hours. also, sometimes there would be yucky stuff in the elevator. my main complaint with pvI was its location. it was far from classes, sorority row, and parking. however, it did keep me in shape!" - 4 years ago
