Is New Hall West the best dorm at Virginia Tech?

Students rated New Hall West a 3.9/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

Nicer than most dorms, but you don’t really have control of A/C so always hot even in the winter. Annoying to pay extra for a dorm with Ac if you can’t adjust it.

Top floor has (mostly) really tall ceilings. Kitchen is only on 3rd floor, floors 2 and 4 only have lounges. Far from basically everything on campus - West End is closest dining hall and can get pricey. Far walk to downtown Blacksburg. Great dorm, but location is something to keep in mind.

The ceilings are very tall on the top floor, and the rooms are massive compared to everything else on campus. The halls themselves are somewhat asocial and the layout lets people keep to themselves.

3 people per room but it is very spacious. There is also a bathroom inside each room. The building is far from the academic side of campus but is the closest dorm to the gym.

This is by far the best dorm on campus. The rooms are spacious, you have air conditioning, and each room as it's own bathroom. The only real downsides are that you are kinda far from most everything except one dining hall and it is not a very social dorm. For anyone staying on campus your second or higher year, I would recommend this, but not for freshman, since you won't have many chances to meet anyone in the dorm unless you go out of your way to.
