Is Currant Hall the best dorm at UC Davis?

Students rated Currant Hall a 4.8/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

Currant is great. Lived in a single and got a nice little space for myself. I'm a notororiously picky sleeper, but with a foam mattress pad from home my bed was comfortable. Bathrooms are frequent throughout the floor so if you have to pee in the middle of the night like me, you don't need to fear. The building is nice, but the lounge can get a little small if lots of friend groups in your floor like it. Putting the two couches facing each other and touching is a nice way to make a fort, if the lounge is empty. My friend said it's a great place to nap. Sometimes the RAs steal the vacuum but it all depends who you get. Also don't forget your card or else you'll be locked out and have to go down to the service center (outside the building, 2 min walk) to get it. Park your bike on the North side behind the building (not by the main entrance) for max campus access. Bathrooms are very well cleaned and generally stocked, but I docked a star for my bathroom (2F, east, women's by room 207) having really bad hot water in the big shower (ALWAYS USE THE SMALL SHOWER) and the fact that the motion activated lights were very finicky and sometimes turned off mid-shower. If you jump around and wave your arms like a psycho before going in you should be good, but the sensor has to be activated in a super precise way so sometimes all the jumping jacks in the world won't get it.

I think the light in the room is too low. I recommend buying a lamp! I love the location. It’s at the heart of campus so you can go to classes pretty quickly. The restroom Were clean. Not that noisy.

Decently quiet since this dorm is mainly made up of UHP students. Everything works and if it doesn’t, people come to fix it within a day or so.

Current is convent since it is close to classes and Latitude for the weekdays and Terceo DC for the weekends, along with Tercero Market. It is one of the newer buildings with hall ways that are not too wide where you do not talk to anyone and also not too small so that it feels cramped. My room also had a nice view of the Latitude so and conveniently located near the stair way too. There are multiple stair ways and each one is on either side of the building and the center so it is convent.

Currant Hall is great, newer building with large windows in room and common areas/hallways. Good climate control (barely had to use AC/heat all year). Only real downsides I would say would be you have to go to a different residence hall if you want to use a kitchen.
