Is Kahlert Village the best dorm at University Of Utah?

The Kahlert Village dorms are exceptional. It's the newest dormitory building on Campus and it comes with various amenities, a dining hall on the first floor, Adobe ($ADBE) themed study rooms, meditation rooms, prayer rooms , billards tables, all packed into one massive building conveniently next to the Student Life Center: The Campus Gym. Kahlert is within walking distance of a train that leads to downtown and is the second closest dorm to the University's Union center. One thing I forgot to mention, you can't stay over winter break unless you pay around $1400. that's $1400 for 3 weeks, maybe more. Think about that Skiers.! I expect a recession to occur shortly after writing this so the price may differ drastically. This fee is different from Lassonde, where you don't have to pay to stay over winter break. Also, rooms will be searched during winter break. It is important to mention that there are ADA compliant rooms and they're big, occasionally administered to students who quite frankly are not disabled in anyway, shape, or form. My bathroom that suitemates shared with me and my roommates would fail to flush after one flush, I dealt with this by using the cluster bathrooms. If you crave social engagement, seek a cluster room. Cluster rooms and the relationships that they foster are reminiscent of Sitcoms. Otherwise, a room in the halls that lead to the clusters can fit anti-social needs just fine. Finding parking past 10 pm is impossible, I strongly advise against bringing a vehicle in the fall semester.

I was in a double cluster room, and there was plenty of space for both me and my roommate. The thermostat worked great but the controls were awful, and the beds even without a dedicated topper were relatively comfortable. The worst part has to be the people. Constant fire alarms during the winter, routine vandalism, constant bathroom drama, the works. There was even a scourge of bike theft at the beginning of the school year, which the administration was entirely powerless to stop or make any progress on returning people's items. And yet at the same time, many of the rules seemed overbearing for the average student, especially quiet hours rules, depending on your RA or the RAs on duty. That's a problem every HRE dorm is going to have, so recognizing that, this is still the best freshman residential area on campus.
