Is Newman the best dorm at UIUC?

Ideal location right next to the quad. Met so many great friends there. I had the best RA during my time there and he ensured the community on our floor always had something to do. I have had so many great conversations in the cafeteria while studying

The absolute best place to live on campus. Starting off with welcome week, the move in guides completely unpack your car and move everything to your room for you! There’s so many events during welcome week and I met so many people! The location is so great - I can be at class within 5 minutes of leaving my room. The food is amazing too - try out the “creation station” - delish!! I have met so many amazing people and have made lifelong friends just from living at Newman Hall!

Newman Hall is the closest dorm to the Quad, and has both suite- and traditional-style rooms. GREAT dining, and a super active student community. There are intramurals, tons of clubs, weekly events, and the vibe is really friendly and welcoming. You will not feel alone here. Also, weekly housekeeping, free laundry, on-site library and fitness center, lots of study rooms, and the main seating area of the dining room is open 24/7. Basketball and pickleball courts, great courtyards and a terrace, nice lounges. Air conditioning, big rooms, well-maintained.
