Is Meredith South the best dorm at Purdue?

Very clean and lots of natural light throughout the building. Dryers and washers always work and are clean. Bathrooms are also clean but there’s always at least one toilet in the pod that’s clogged :/ Pretty close to third street and max 20 min walk to anywhere on campus

After finishing my first year living at Meredith South, I think it is one of the best dorms to live at on campus. This year it was an all girls dorm. It’s new and modern with easily accessible amenities. The rooms are spacious with a big room giving natural light. The view from the dorm on the back side is nice too because you can see third street and Ross Aide. However, I recommend bringing extra dressers or shelves (horizontal space) as there is little storage space. The room also had a drawer that could be secured shut with your own lock. I have a photo below of my dorm, but know the hooks do not come with the dorm. The fridge and microwave set was also rented for the year from the university’s service. I was in a double on the fourth floor. Note the quads are also pretty spacious, but once again little storage space. The layout of the dorm is three “pods” on each floor with their own set of bathrooms. So you share the bathrooms with maybe 30-40 girls, not the whole floor. As for the bathrooms, there are two private and one communal bathrooms, all cleaned everyday around noon. The sinks, showers, and toilets are all newer (no stains, old handles). On each floor, there is plenty of study spaces, including a TV in A pods and private, soundproof room in C pods. These spaces also have plenty of natural lighting. As for food, there is a panera and qdoba by the lobby (very busy during meal swipe hours). Please let me know if you have any questions!

Lived in Meredith South my Freshman year. Overall a great dorm to live in as it was built really recently and is very modern. Rooms are great although a little small, but the furniture is really nice. There are study rooms and study areas on every floor and each pod has 2-3 private bathrooms along with a communal bathroom. Bathrooms are really nice although sometimes they do get a little dirty when they haven’t been cleaned for a while. Panera and Qdoba are also on the first floor of the building which is super convenient as they take meal swipes. However Meredith South is pretty pricy compared to many of the other dorms so that’s definitely something to consider
