Is Scioto Hall the best dorm at University of Cincinnati?

This dorm is pretty far away from most classroom buildings. There’s a dining hall a few minutes walk away under Marian Spencer, as well as a Tim Horton’s. You get a private bathroom only shared between you and your roommate(s). The rooms are pretty spacious, but there isn’t a huge amount of privacy between beds in the doubles, the room is just wide open. It has a fridge, microwave, and stove/oven, so it is a good dorm if you want to avoid the dining halls.

I lived in the same studio layout in Morgens from summer 2018 through summer 2019 and there was virtually no difference, so I would recommend reading the reviews for both buildings even if only one of them is an option to you. Pros: - Floor-to-ceiling windows for some of the best natural lighting in any place I've ever lived, not just dorms. However... Cons: - I lived on the 4th floor and haven't been personally stalked (that I know of), but more than once I've had to call campus safety on people who were in the parking garage on the east side of the building taking pictures through open windows. - Only two elevators for 13 floors and up to 456 residents. It's usually not too bad except around times that people are leaving for or getting home from class. If you can't use stairs, try to get a room on a higher floor (I've seen the elevator fill up before it gets to the lower floors) and always leave "waiting for the elevator" buffer time so you aren't late to class. - The elevator says every floor number out loud as it passes, even if it's not stopping. It's annoying. (This is the one difference between Morgens and Scioto!)
