Is Madrone Hall the best dorm at UC Davis?

The dorm was nice overall, very clean, and convenient for freshmen. The kitchen is technically available but in a detached building right next door. The only complaint is that the elevator is super slow.

Was apart of the first group of students to use Madrone Hall right after it was built. Clean bathrooms, clean floors, right next to the rec room. Was able to crank up the AC all I wanted. Though not having a kitchen inside did indeed suck

Loved living in Madrone. I was worried about having to live in a triple, but I found that I had more than enough space. The lounges are nice, especially the study room on the bottom floor, and I like the vending machine on the bottom floor (I get hungry at odd hours). The bathrooms were almost always clean, custodial did a great job, and I didn't often find myself having to wait to shower. Overall, the building is very well maintained.
