Is Ordal Hall the best dorm at Pacific Lutheran University?
Students rated Ordal Hall a 4/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.
I spent a little over half of a semester living in Ordal until we transitioned to online-learning due to COVID-19, though my time in Ordal was great! It is one of the newly renovated livings spaces on campus. There are three floors, and on each floor there are communal spaces that students often use as study spaces, a place to host activities, or a place to spend time with friends and watch movies. The third floor has a full kitchen with a sink, oven, microwave, a refrigerator, and other amenities. In terms of bathrooms, I believe each floor has two communal bathrooms with multiple showers and stalls. I personally had no complaints about the bathrooms, they always stayed nice and clean. The living spaces are okay, if you're living with another person (which you probably are) you may find that the rooms feel a tad small. However, there are options for lofting your bed and setting up bunkbeds to optimize your space. If you don't care for the looks of your room, I would suggest decorating it to make it feel more like home! Overall I really enjoyed Ordal, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who prefers a quieter living environment and wants to live on upper-campus!
