Is Rather Hall the best dorm at MSU?

Students rated Rather Hall a 4.4/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

Not the worst neighborhood, but North is better. Rather or Butterfield are the best halls to live in, in Brody though.

Me and my roomie lived in Yakeley in North Neighborhood for first semester and had to leave because of how bad the conditions had gotten. The constant noise and dirty living community spaces made it hard to focus on anything else. I mention this because when we moved to Rather we had a comparison of what we had been living in to what we moved to. It was entirely worth the hassle. Bathrooms were much cleaner and the showers had much more privacy. Bathrooms were cleaned much more frequently than Yakeley, at least it seemed this way as I would often bump into the custodial staff on their way out. Our room felt close to double the size and was much easier to coexists with someone in. The study areas were normally pretty quiet to sit and do work in if you ever needed to. There are two laundry rooms, one on third floor and one on fourth, so finding a time where at least a washer would be open was much simpler. There is also a unisex bathroom on A and B side of every floor. The best part for when you move in and out? There’s an elevator, sadly only 1 but compared to Yakeley that did not have 1 it’s a win. Even if you decide to move things up and down the stairway there’s a lot more space to do so. Overall I loved my time in Rather, people were super respectful and fun to talk to, I would completely recommend living there.

Best hall on campus. Lots of minority’s and as one that’s great. Brody food is good. 1855 in walking distance, only bad thing is it might be far from east. But u can get a bike
