Is Mesa Verde the best dorm at UCSD?

I would recommend the fact that most of the rooms within the ERC apartments are singles but I had lived in a mini-double. We had to share the closet and overall the bunks were very close to the ceiling. The common areas were nice and I loved the separate toilet from the shower area.

I lived in Mesa Verde Apts. Honestly a nice choice for me, being in a quieter area of ERC. Very spacious compared to other apartments on campus; the bedrooms are clean and newer. Kitchen was adequate. Location wise, it's awkward and far from almost anything else (especially classes), but I guess that's the trade-off.

Love the natural light but hate the showers cuz it gets misty. Have a nice view of the green but am not a fan of the kitchen sink

I was really lucky and got 4th floor (I've been to 1st floor and it was really dingy). My suite had a nice view and was breezy. The common area was quite large and the rooms were pretty nice. The only downsides were the super slow elevator and the distance from all my classes. Personally, I liked being away from the center of the campus so I could physically distance the place where I relax from classes. ERC green is also nice to walk on / look at.

Conducive environment overall, quite affordable. Would recommend other students to stay here as well.
