Is Ecology House the best dorm at Cornell?

If you don’t fit in with the people after the first two weeks GET OUT. Extremely nice people live here but they are all extremely cliquey and super liberal. Do not expect to share any centrist views on social issues or climate change unless you want to be made fun of or looked at in an un charismatic way. The RHD is one of the worst on campus and bolsters the one dudes thinking of this house. Nobody is outdoorsy here and it’s just of a bunch of people whom are super liberal or gay. Few people actually cared about the environment and few actually loved being in the outdoors. Ad for the house, it’s far from everything and unkempt. It isn’t bad until you go into basically any other dorm and realize how horrible it actually is. From the dirty kitchen and dirty utensils to the dirty laundromat to the stairs that have never been cleaned I swear this must be a violation of some hazards. Another reason not to live here is the chance of living in the basement. The basement is funny because there are a lot of people whom love it due to it’s quiet vibes yet it’s a health hazard for sure. One walk down to the basement will have your lungs caked in linen due to the laundry room which has poor ventilation. I swear I’m not sure how people actually walk down there on the daily let alone live down there. It’s a shame that instead of having good energy efficient appliances and programs that can reform the greenness on campus this house rather live in the 1970s with outdated and dirty things.

Nice place to live. Each double has its own bathroom (with a shower) which is a major perk. It is relatively far for housing but not bad and there is a bus stop nearby. The people can be cliquey.

Great rooms, however the distance means that walking to campus will take longer than any other freshman housing. You will need to get to learn the bus system.

A wonderful, homey place to live in with free cleaning supplies, a swap shop (where you get to take things you need and contribute), and a kitchen with utensils available. Though you may have to clean them yourselves, bathrooms are inside the rooms, which can prevent any awkward interactions (especially when the rooms are not grouped into suites). I have lived here for 2 years and I will say that the people that live here are friendly and will say hi to you when they see you. Distance from everything on campus can be an issue, though they give you a free bus pass regardless of what year you are.
