Is Potter Hall the best dorm at UC Davis?

Students rated Potter Hall a 3.3/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

It was okay, the area was pretty far from everything and the people there were really friendly! Cons I did say before area and the rooms were tiny for three people,at least for mine

Its nice and all but definitely an older building. Water dispenser only on first floor and I was on the 4th floor so would have go to up and down 3 floors just to get water. The front door breaks a lot too and there's repair people every month or so

Kind of far away from classes but the buildings themselves were pretty nice quality. Had a bunch of social areas, nice building, and the room I had was nice. The room itself was small, even though I was living alone. The thing I hated the most was the fact that bathrooms were shared and walls are thin. No kitchen in the building itself either.

I lived in a triple it seemed smaller than other triples but it was probably due to the room location(between 2 bathrooms). I liked that the bathrooms were cleaned everyday. The elevator often broke do I had to walk up 4 flights of stairs. Oh and our air conditioner never worked. The view from our room was nice but the building felt older than dorm buildings near by.

I lived in a triple, but I didn't feel like it was super crowded (although I had a corner room so it might have been a little larger). Unfortunately, Potter seems a little older and it's further away from the dining hall. I also would have liked for there to be a kitchen. I think air conditioning was decent, but I remember the heating being a little weak in the winter.
