Is White Hall the best dorm at Northeastern?

Students rated White Hall a 3.2/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

A White Hall forced triple is actually physical and psychological hell. There is physically not enough space for three people to live in those rooms. It consists of a bunk bed, a lofted bed, two small open closets, three bureaus, and three desks. Mine had one window. If you're on the top bunk, you cannot sit upright without hitting your head. Your options for places to sit are at your desk or on the floor, but if you sit on the floor you will block your roommate's access to their beds or bureaus. Additional cons include street noise from the Forsyth and the green line honking. Depending on where your room is, you could get a little natural light! Very conveniently located (Qdoba, Wolly's, and Marino are a one-minute walk!). A great location but you could not pay me to live in a forced triple in this building again.

The location of the dorm is really one of the best. Being next to Marino, wollastons and Qdoba. As well as chicken Lou and classes. Rip chicken Lou. Everything else about the dorm is shit. The water runs cold in the dirty communal bathrooms. The building has rats and rooms have rats. The rooms are extremely tiny and dirty. The heaters are malfunctioning most of the time and the windows break so often. Once the window seal breaks the winter is unbearable.

This dorm is in a great spot, and is fortunate enough to be one of the only freshman dorms with a kitchen. That's literally where the pros end though. The Rooms are strangely shaped, in odd positions, and always feature a bright red wall. The showers are always gross, regardless of how many times I would see them getting "cleaned". There's no AC and the heating is inconsistent at best. Nights in October would have the heat blasting like it was a blizzard, but in January when there actually was a blizzard, it'd feel like the heat was shut off.

I had a corner room on the fifth floor so I really cant complain about space. If you luck out with those it really is sweet. Two roommates suck but hey I met a best friend that way. Bathrooms are absolutely horrendous, straight out of the 60s combined with body hair everywhere. Can't beat the location it is practically smack dab in the center of campus. The heat is very bad to deal with in the winter when you are on the upper floors, our windows were always open.

Double room, enough space, 2 windows, 3rd floor, normal dorm furniture, no AC Toilets were decent, some showers were ok, laundry room didn’t have enough machines Close to campus & dining halls, wollastons across the street, restaurants and shops not far away Kinda ugly, old, and not very clean, but overall not too bad.
