Is McFadden the best dorm at Texas A&M?

Lived here freshman year as required in university honors. The rooms are all doubles and have an included bathroom which is great. The bathroom was cleaned once a week on a designated day. Tons of closet space as well, and the room itself was very spacious. Only one window so not a lot of natural light. The wifi was good and there were enough outlets so no issues there. The bathroom had a sink open to the room and the shower / toilet in a small room next to it. The shower head was not head, bad water pressure and pretty low (I am 5’6” and was almost as tall as where the shower head was). Only other con was no storage space in the bathroom so bring your own or put stuff in the closet. The building itself is okay. It is in a great location, close to Sbisa and Hullaballoo and an east walk to most freshman classes. Older building with no elevators and the kitchen/lounge was very outdated. If you spend most time in your room that isn’t really an issue. Overall a good dorm and if you are going to be living in honors it is worth it. Lechner is the exact same.

The rooms are nice and decently spacious for a dorm. Its located right next to a dining hall and has access to the Hullaballo amenities which kind of makes up for the lack of amenities in McFadden. Not a lot of opportunity for socializing with other people in the hall because of a lack of community spaces.

This dorm's best feature is its location. It is close in proximity to a lot of things, including Sbisa Dining Hall, the Hullabaloo Game Room and 24/7 Community Learning Center, and the Memorial Student Center. I had a bike on campus but I found myself walking a lot more than I expected. The dorm room layout is pretty nice. It's a modular dorm, which is, in my opinion, the best type of dorm on campus. It's quite spacious, has its own bathroom (which is cleaned once every week by cleaning staff), and has decently-sized closets. The desks are pretty long; I was able to put my two monitor PC setup on them and still have extra desk space. You can rent or bring your own microwave and fridge. You don't get much privacy if your roommate ends up spending a lot of time in the dorm, so be prepared for that. The community spaces aren't as good compared to other dorms. If you're into that, consider Lechner which is right across from McFadden; they have a larger community room. In McFadden, there are some chairs in every hallway that people usually study or hangout around. My RA was pretty great. Her and the RA's of the other floors would often host events, including a free headshot photo shoot and events about learning about different resources offered by A&M. I think I've covered all the bases here. Overall, living at McFadden Hall for my freshman year was a pleasant experience and it was very worth it for its price. Definitely consider living here!
