Is Simpson Hall the best dorm at UF?
Students rated Simpson Hall a 4/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.
Simpson is actually decent. Newly renovated with hardwood floors and a decent cooling system. My floor was pretty social but I’ve heard Broward/Jennings are fun too. Location could not be better if you plan on rushing and the late night pod market is clutch. Bathrooms can get gross like any dorm. Would stay here again
Recently updated, so it doesn't feel old dirty like some other dorm areas. The bathroom are communal (approx. 50 people per bathroom) which can get pretty gross, but thpey are cleaned daily except on the weekends. There is a pool and pod market/chomp it on the ground level.
A lot of people look over Simpson Hall but honestly it was great for my freshman year. I lived in a triple but one girl moved out before the fall semester started so it ended up being a double with extra furniture. The rooms are large enough that you can have everything you would really need with some organization. I had a fridge and two black draw carts in the room next to my table and I still had space. The bathrooms were cleaned very well and the custodians were really nice too. There's also chomp it mini dining center downstairs where you can get food and other necessities late at night. It's also only a 5 minute walk away from the Reitz Union, 5 minutes walk from the dining hall, and about 10 minutes from the HUB which every one paces by on their way to class and for a some chick fil a, Starbucks, or Subway right across.
Loved living here my freshman year. It is a little further from classes than other dorms but it has 2 bus stops nearby so i could usually reach my classes in about 10 minutes from leaving. The Chomp It in the area has great chicken tenders and is open until 3 am. The bathrooms are cleaned every weekday and only had problems with some people forgetting to flush on the weekends. The AC works great and you are able to open the windows if it's nice out. The one time we had issues with the AC it was resolved in a timely manner. There are no elevators except the frieght elevators which are only used for move in/out but most dorms at UF don't have them. The area has a really nice room with a projector which we used to play video games with the people in my floor. The room had more than enough space for me and the beds can be raised for extra storage underneath if need be.
In the best shape of most double dorm rooms UF offers. The rooms were very roomy and the built-ins offer a lot of storage. You shouldn’t have trouble fitting all your things in your room. The kitchen is small but you can definitely prepare meals there. The bathrooms are kept very very clean, cleaned every day.
