Is Pennsylvannia Ave Residence the best dorm at UIUC?

Rooms are small, but it is clean. There is a dining hall on the first floor which is very convenient. The bus stop outside makes it very easy to commute to class, restauraunts.

honestly, I had a lot better experience as I thought I would have. I was really lucky in terms of blindly choosing the hall and room number, but it ended up being a really positive experience! My room (on the 3rd floor) overlooked the bus stop and was also right by the stairs. It was incredibly easy to go up and down the floors, stalk the busses to see which ones were there, and I received a lot of natural light (the windows were pretty large!) only downside was the size, but the size is pretty standard in every dorm hall— besides Wassaja and Nugent. I also loved how PAR had access to many major busses (13, 12, 21, 22). So easy to get fast transportation to and from Green St. another pro is having easy access to FAR, LAR, Allen, ISR dining halls. i wouldnt choose a different dorm hall again if I had the chance to redo it.
