Is Tarkington Hall the best dorm at Purdue?

God awful. Female bathroom is all the way downstairs in the main lobby area. Rooms and hallways smelled like ass all the time, no elevators, no a/c in rooms, dark rooms too. Musty smell. Okay location.

Tark is a terrible dorm. Our room is a converted triple so it made things really cramped and it was worse especially if it was hot because there is no AC. BUT, what I will say is what makes Tark fun is the people. Our floor and RA are great. I met so many people and we're all friendly with each other. Bathroom is very old and it can get messy but the cleaners really try and do their best to keep it clean. The washers flood all the time all the time so don't be surprised if you walk in and there is just standing water. Overall, the dorm is terrible, but it's an experience. The people at Tark make it fun to live there so don't be afraid and say hi.

Living with a triple in a double room. Housing crisis shoved us three in a double, did the math and it turns out we are paying more than others who live with a double in a double. This place is a scam, avoid at all costs. The bathrooms are disgusting, toilets and showers flooding. Boys like the piss on the toilet seats for fun, so when you need to take a crap, it's a struggle to find a clean toilet.

Tarkington is really old and pretty run down. Decent location, but everything else about it isn’t great.

+ Great location, it's right in front of the Co-rec, Slater hill (easy access for skiing when it snows), Wiley dining court, and Ford dining court. Though, it is a bit far (walk-wise) from the PMU and Chauncey area. + The Shark Tank is a cool place to hang out with TVs, ping pong, and pool. + Lounge has nice study area with grand piano, also A/C. - No A/C so it is almost unbearable during the beginning of the year. - Very old building, dirty, and outdated with old tech. Also musty cause it's an all guys dorm. - Probably the worst bathrooms I've ever seen. Had brown water come out when I tried to brush my teeth. Showers are gross and would flood sometimes cause of clogging. The actual toilets were the worst, it always stink and guys never flush for some reason so there was always at least one toilet covered in feces every day. - I was on the first floor and I've had people come up to my window and bang on it. Have seen someone even kick in a window of a neighbor down the hall.
