Is Fuller Apartments the best dorm at WPI?

I lived by myself in a two-person studio. the room itself was fine, a bit packed with furniture if the beds weren’t bunked. the appliances could use upgrading, as the stovetop wasn’t in great shape and the sink had some issues. overall, not a bad place to live if you only use it for basics. not the best for hosting friends due to limited space. having a private bathroom was a plus, though it never felt amazingly clean. I enjoyed how close to campus it was without being a huge hike. the huge windows right at walkway level were uncomfortable for a studio space, definitely sacrificed some natural light for privacy.

I lived in a 3-person studio, which wasn’t great since it was like a glorified dormroom and I couldn’t cook without waking people up, but Fuller does have non-studio apartments. Otherwise my studio was pretty nice, we had a living space with a couch, a full kitchen, a small dining table, and a bathroom that was the only private area. We each had a bed bunked on top of a desk, and a wardrobe. We had a spacious pantry that from some odd design choice was located inside the bathroom, but this oddity isn’t a common feature among Fuller Apartments—they usually are separate. As for the building itself, it’s not super secure. There is a single id-scanner separating you from the outside world, and we’d sometimes have local townsfolk knocking on our door with ad pamphlets. In the event of a power outage or other scanner malfunction, there’s the possibility you’ll have no way to lock your door. But in my experience we only ever got locked out (until the failure was addressed, a couple hours tops), not lock-less. Compared to some other WPI apartment buildings, like Faraday and East, Fuller is much older and not-as-nice, but it gets the job done and it’s right across the street from the quad which is a great location. Sadly it doesn’t have laundry facilities, so you have to cross the street to Ellsworth to use the facilities there. Not a major inconvenience, just annoying. Overall, I’d recommend this apartment building mainly because its location is great.

It's like your own little shitty apartment. An important first moment for any young adult. I lived in a group of 5, one double one triple. In retrospect it's not a great dorm after living in other ones. But it's an experience I wouldn't trade for anything. A very fun time if you like your roommates.
