Is Cale and Irani Residential College the best dorm at USC?

Extremely overrated. The RAs suck at responding to your needs and write you up for unnecessary reasons. I got kicked out of a study room by an RA because she wanted to study in there by herself. The place is nice but the people in charge sucks.

The building is dead, so if you're into social stuff this is not the place go to Mcmurrow or Cowlings. For some reason, all of the study rooms here stink, but not in other buildings??? The laundry is a mess they don't clean it. Overall, any place in the village is nice this one however, has its flaws.

One of best buildings imo cuz it on the newer side and not having communal bathrooms is great. it is pretty socially dead ngl which means its a nice to study and nap but ur not gon meet a lot of new ppl just by living here. ra arent involved in ur life at all so ig u dont have to worry abt them being on ur case all the time but u dont rlly get a lot of support either tbh. but yeah overall super chill dorm in the village (which is def nice but the village dining hall sucks)

I lived in a 6 person/3 bed here freshman year and a 4 person loft sophomore year. The 6 person (3 pics attached) is very nice, tons of room and storage. The loft (1 pic) isn’t great, it’s tiny and has very little storage space (but at least it’s cheap). Freshman year the dorm was relatively social and I was friends with probably around half my floor, sophomore year it has not been social and I haven’t made any new friends in the building. Cale is a pretty nice building, but all village dorms are fairly similar. Personally I wouldn’t recommend living here freshman year because it’s harder to make friends than a traditional dorm, but if that’s okay with you go for it. The loft is a little rough but it was worth it to save money for me

The 6 person was sooooo slay. So much storage. It got really messy though, so make sure you’re living with clean people. It’s so big that it’s hard to clean so prioritize that.
