Is Maya the best dorm at SDSU?

Students rated Maya a 4/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

Extremely cramped but well kept and very clean. New amenities and great bathroom but three to a room is really incredibly bad.

Girls are nasty asf, learn how to clean up after yourself. I like the location of it bc it’s kinda close to everything

Honestly love that the building is only 3 floors because it feels less like a hotel and more like a home. We are close to campus and all the food options! And we have a pool, big courtyard with fire pits, beach volleyball court, mini golf turf, and more. No complaints other than they shoved 3 people into a room for 2.

I enjoyed living in Maya my freshman year. I really liked how it was not too many floors or people because it felt more personal and easy to connect with others. I wish there was more washing machines in the first floor wash room because I felt like they were all always in use whenever I would go to do laundry. Also, the air conditioning unit was basically useless the whole year and broke quite often but as long as you keep your window and/or door open it’s not too hard to air out the room. The TV in the common areas were super fun to use and helped us all on the floor connect and watch shows and games together. Also, being on this side of campus is super convenient because we are close to all the major food locations, trolley station and the Student Union. I feel like we are also closer to most of the frats which is nice when going out. Overall, Maya was a great dorm to live in as my first dorming experience and I would recommend this building to all incoming freshmen.

Maya and Olmeca are practically the same, but in Maya you could get a great view of the pool and sunset. Great location and great vibes, and the learning communities are a good pro to living in Maya. The amenities are all amazing, but people do say that Maya is the worst dorm, but honestly it’s been really nice living here.
