Is Bannockburn Village the best dorm at UCR?
Students rated Bannockburn Village a 1.9/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.
You don’t want to live here unless you have no other choice. The only perk is it’s proximity to campus, being the nearest apartment complex. The rooms smell like a dusty antique store, the AC is constantly breaking down, the carpets are stained and gross, everything is just falling apart and there is ALWAYS a mold problem in the bathroom. They charged me $40 to clean the mold in my shower just for it to grow back after a week. There are always bugs getting in to the apartment and I have seen literal roaches living in the cabinets. Why would ANYONE want to pay for this rent when they could lease a room in a house with other students for the same price, and live in good conditions?? Take it from me if I had the choice I’d live somewhere else, I’ve been stuck in bannockburn for two years. The rent will also go up literally every year. By far the most ghetto, ugly, poorly managed apartments on campus.
Absolutely the worst dorm I’ve ever lived in, the single apartment was not worth it. It’s very old and dilapidated - walls and flooring falling apart, and mold and mildew. The bathroom has no vent or windows, and there are only 2 windows (at least in my former dorm) so it was constantly stuffy. Also, there is this certain smell that Bannockburn has, kind of like a musty, old book smell that NEVER goes away and sticks to everything - clothing, bedding, appliances, etc. The walls are paper thin as well, and you’ll constantly hear footsteps and conversations if you have upstairs neighbors. The only pro is that it’s extremely close to campus.
