Is Tower 3 (Honors) the best dorm at UCF?
Students rated Tower 3 (Honors) a 4.9/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.
There is four people using a shared kitchen and living space but everyone gets their own room. There are two bathrooms and everyone gets their own sink. The environment, at least for the honors building (3) is really good. There are amendidies like a computer lab down the hall. You can borrow a Wii and board games from the common area. It's expensive, but super worth it if you plan on cooking for yourself instead of the meal plan. It's a lot like an apartment, but it counts as a dorm so some scholarships will cover it. You can save common areas for later and I have a friend who hosts DND groups in put building for free. The only complaint I have is that they have had issues with the fire alarms not working, but other than that it has been great. The location is awesome as its across the street from a dining hall, restaurants, the arena, and the Amazon Hub on campus. It's on the outskirts of campus so classes aren't the closest but it's not more than an extra 10 minutes if you walk slow. They also have their own designated parking garage.
Tower 3 is really great! Proximity to classes is amazing, it is a bit of a walk to classes farther away but you shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to get anywhere on campus. The room is the nicest you can find on the main campus, but you do pay for it (~3440 for a normal semester.) Walls are thin, but that's something you should get to accustomed to in a college dorm, nothing you can really do about it. If you value your sleep, don't choose the rooms X14-X22 (X being the floor numbers) as ROTC will practice outside your window at 6am, and you can hear football games during the fall semester. I've only stayed in a 4x2, which is your standard apartment, and it's pretty nice, little to no complaints. Maintenance responds fairly quickly and the room gets cleaned by staff around once a semester. It's up to you to keep day to day cleanliness and to buy your own toilet paper, but they are things that should be learned anyway so it's fine. Bed can be uncomfortable if you don't bring a foam pad of some sort, but it is the only full bed on campus which is amazing. Kitchen in your room is a godsend, not that you should pay for the meal plan even if you don't have a kitchen but it really helps having one there. I cook most if not all of my food now because of it. Really close to football stadium and tons of restaurants, so ease of access is definitely a plus. Theres a Dominos, Dunkin, Starbucks, Burger joint, Mexican place and a 711 all within a 2 minutes walk. Really like it here!!!
