Is North Campus the best dorm at UConn?

I was hit in the face with a ceiling tile so that kinda soured me. Dining Hall is meh, rooms are small and depressing, trying to laundry here sucks. It was really hot in the summer and mega cold in the winter. Avoid it if you can.

Lived on the fourth floor, and had to walk up four flights of stairs to enter the smallest prison like room ever. The heater would make a horrible noise that would keep me up at nights sometimes during the colder seasons. Sometimes the room would become too hot from the heater during the winter. First few months during the warmer season the room was unbearably hot as there was no air flow into the room whatsoever. Not even fans helped keep the room cool. In the restrooms, people are separated by curtains in the showers, and people are super disgusting in the restroom. Besides all of that North is conveniently right across or close to most of the science and engineering buildings.

Definitely one of the worst dorms at UConn. Laundry is in a different building which extremely inconvenient and the WiFi is horrible (although this is supposedly improving soon). The dining hall is subpar but luckily the Northwest dining hall (one of the best dining halls on campus) is very close. The location is below average unless you are a science major. The building is old and the bathrooms are a little gross but not terrible. The one good thing is that the rooms are big compared to other doubles.

North was for the most part okay, the biggest thing for me was the showers, which in my building had 1 drain and 2 curtains so the nasty water would flow down to you if there was another person showering at the same time. The rooms and study lounges were decent, same with food. I thought location was pretty good, good proximity to the Chem and Bio buildings, and not too far from the center of campus. Definitely not the worst but not the best either.

North Campus is a pretty old building, so it's not the most accessible. It only has staircases in the residential blocks, so if you're in a wheelchair it'll be hard to get around. I was pretty unlucky with my room, had to call maintenance to fix my heater three times (some parts were old and it was leaking when the heating was first switched on in October). The room size isn't bad at all for two people, but the bathroom facilities aren't the best for maybe 30-odd people on the same floor. The shower sections were just three showerheads separated by shower curtains. Dining hall wasn't the worst, the themed meals (like stir-fry bar) were good. Northwest is nearby, which has more variety I feel, so your options aren't bad either. But the whole of North doesn't have a single pantry, so if you want to cook, the only thing you can do is to microwave your own meals. Laundry is free (washing and drying)! Can get pretty crowded because there's only one laundry room for quite a few people. I didn't use the lounges too often because the lighting wasn't my favourite, but if you're not picky about that, you should be good.
