Is Mercer Court A-C the best dorm at UW?

It was a good size of your own room! The buildings/court was a bit further away from campus compare to other dorms, but it gives you the quiet and chill area a bit on the outer circle of the campus.

Best apartments on West Campus, especially/only if you like/know all your flatmates well. My room is a 4-bedroom, and although the living room/common area in mine is MUCH smaller than the largest rooms in Mercer, it's a comfortable, cozy place to be. The fridge, microwave and oven/cooktop are great, and combined with the fact that you can opt out of the HFS dining plans as a Mercer resident, it means you can save some money by cooking your own food. The rooms themselves are small, but they've got plenty of wall outlets and lots of storage. You've got two private bathrooms per 4-bedroom apartment, and they're alright. The showers are pretty terrible, though; ultra-low-flow showerheads that can't be adjusted, and some unintuitive/weirdly-placed light switches in the bathroom. The thermostats are another problem if you tend to feel chilly often, they don't let you set the temperature above 74°F. Finally, Mercer is quite expensive, so if you're looking for a cheap place to stay on campus, definitely look elsewhere. Overall, Mercer is awesome, and it's right next to the Burke-Gilman and the water (great if you bike, walk or run like me). Just make sure you get a corner room, and you'll be set!

No window screen so expect LOTS OF bugs in your room. Great fridge and cooktop. The shower is not good, can't move the shower head.

I was in a single in a 6-bedroom apartment where each room had its own private bath. Each room had its own heater but no AC, so on warmer days it could get pretty hot inside. Kinda far from classes in parts of campus but I enjoyed the location anyway. Also, really pretty views of the bay from some parts of the building!

The rooms themselves are new and decent sized. Lived on 9th floor of building A and had a great view of the water and space needle. Gets super hot (80+) when weather is above 70 and sunny out and is extremely difficult to cool it down. Windows have no screens but living on upper floor, did not have any issue with bugs. Bathrooms light switched are weirdly placed but have lots of counter space and drawers. Shower heads do not move but aren't awful. Kitchen is large with tons of storage space and huge fridge. Freezer gets super cold too! On the outer side of west campus and can make going to class feel like a trek. If you struggle with going to class, the distance will NOT be your friend, especially in winter quarter. Overall really enjoyed Mercer!
