Is Quad 1 the best dorm at Rutgers-New Brunswick?
Students rated Quad 1 a 2.6/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.
Rooms available are pretty small, mostly doubles and a few singles. The doubles are small for two people, and you will bump into things often. The common room for your hall is small, just a couple sofas, chairs, and a desk. There is a common hall for the whole Quad in the basement, which is big and has a T.V. and some events. There is a media room with a couple consoles, but I was kicked out first day and told the room is only for events. Perhaps there were some, idk I never went. The room itself (I was in a double), has two beds, two alcoves that are used as closets, a two dressers, two trash cans, two desks, two shitty butt-breaking chairs, and a small fridge and microwave. There is plenty of natural light through the big window at the end of the room, opposite to the door. The room has brick walls and a thick door, so you won't hear your floormates that much. You will lose your sleep. The mattress was mediocre, the windows didn't work well to block the grass cutters that came every morning for some reason, and the geese that will honk right outside your window. You will also have drunk people coming back from parties in the middle of the night, yelling as if no one is sleeping. The smell of weed lingers in the staircases. They keep the bathroom pretty clean, and make sure the fan is on inside otherwise ask your R.A. to submit a maintence request. Find the better shower, usually they have shitty water pressure and are cramped. The toilets sometimes have broken stall locks. You will share it with about 10 people, depending on the design of your floor. Also each floor is separated by gender. The Quads are pretty far from the main bus stop at the student center, but they added back a bus stop nearby. The dining hall is a walk, but had great food on this campus. The gym is also nearby, but always packed because it is so small. Classes are on the other end of campus unless they are in Tillet or LSB. Overall, shitty freshman dorming, but you get used to it, and probably wont spend much time in there besides sleeping.
I got the basement floor which includes rooms that are slightly larger than the ones above. Be careful with asbestos (L-O-L). The Pro of the basement floor is just close to the laundry room but the con might be that it lacks a lot of natural light as it is on only one side of the room. Beds are your typical college dorm beds. Gym nearby (always packed tho) and a bus stop as well. An ethernet cord is available which is awesome so nice and fast wifi for you gamers out there.
