Is Hands Bethe House the best dorm at Cornell?

The best West campus house to live in. Solid dining hall, proximity to Jansens/Arts quad, and access to all the necessary facilities like laundry, study space, etc.

Singles are massive, nice bathroom, huge common area. only downside is walking up the slope every morning

I moved in halfway through spring semester from McFaddin (which I would describe as walking into a horror movie), but I really like Bethe! Staff is friendly, bathrooms and hallways are pretty clean, and the location is great. Cons are that the walls are THIN and there’s not many single study spaces. The single I had was also pretty tiny, but the full body mirror and considerable closet space (and i say this as someone who has A LOT of clothes) made up for it. The room also has a good ceiling fan.

Lived in a single in a suite and loved it! Pros: Suite style was big plus, 5 people shared our bathroom but the toilet, shower, and sink areas were all separated so very convenient. Rooms decently sized, good lighting as well. Dining hall in building! Good common spaces. New building, has climate control. Cons: You have to trek up the slope to class every day. Depending on where in the building you lived, laundry could be a trek.

I lived in a 6-person suite. some pros: (best) dining room downstairs; suite bedrooms are very spacious; bathrooms are clean and shower, sink, toilet are separated; lots of great places for both chilling and studying; aircon; bethe has tons of cool trips! i paid ~$20 for both a round trip to NYC and tickets to see Mean Girls the musical; the staff are super nice. some of the cons are the slope (ofc) and the fact that buses to target do not make a stop at west very often. i had to drag shopping bags up from the carpenter hall stop sometimes
