Is Redwood Hall the best dorm at UC Davis?

Redwood Hall is the best dorm and has the best view. The 4th floor lounge has large windows for stunning natural lighting. The shorter wing and center of the building has a view of the gorgeous redwood trees behind the building. Redwood is super new and the bathrooms are always clean (thank you custodians!). Anyone I bring into my room wishes they were in Redwood instead. The location is perfect for biking to class and is very quiet. All the rooms and furniture in rooms and common areas are new and there aren't weird smells or dim lights like in the older dorms like Laben or Kearney. It is near Latitude as well (restaurant opened in 2020 that focuses on international cuisine and accepts swipes + Aggie cash). Redwood, Cottonwood, and Madrone (CMR) residentss have access to Olive Hall, a structure that has a beautiful kitchen and lounge area. CMR residents also have access to the game room in Cottonwood (Xbox, table tennis, music room).

The building was very new and in great condition! Very aesthetically appealing. The walls aren't thin and the bathrooms were always pretty clean.

Was a triple when I moved in but one of my roomies dropped Davis so we became a double and it was great! Fourth floor lounge is the best and our custodians are so nice and hard working!!! Anybody I would take into Redwood wished they lived there because it’s the newer building and doesn’t smell funny. Right by the parking lot so any food you order or uber is right there which came in handy. You get to control the AC and heat which is more than most other buildings. Met my best friends in Redwood and I’m so sad I only got to live there 2 quarters because honestly loved it!!!!
