Is Riley Hall the best dorm at WPI?

Great location, beautiful building on the outside. All classes, dining hall, and laundry are close by. The bathrooms were disgusting and only truly, thoroughly cleaned once or twice a term. With so many students all sharing the common bathroom it got dirty quickly and stayed dirty. The quad rooms are a bit small but the triples and doubles have more room per person.

Big rooms with windows that actually open (unlike all other halls). On the first floor the ceiling in the rooms is crazy high. Great community feel and is literally one minute from academic buildings.

The dorm (bathrooms, hallways, common room) were not cleaned as often as I would have liked, but this can be said for most of the dorms at WPI. Bathroom drains got clogged and took maybe a few days to two weeks to fix. Overall my favorite dorm because of the spaciousness. By far the highest ceilings and most spacious rooms of all the hill dorms. Love and miss Riley!

Riley is the best WPI Freshman dorm imho. Sure, the building is old but that just gives it charm. The rooms are more spacious than Morgan and Daniels and have more interesting room layouts. I love the way the furniture in my triple was organized, and it made me feel like I actually had a little privacy from my roommates. The bathrooms are alright, basically your typical shared dorm bathroom. Common room had a sink (2nd floor) which was nice for washing dishes. People will say Morgan and Daniels are the best because they're attached to the dining hall, but Riley is literally a <1 minute walk from there and sometimes it's nice to be forced to leave your dorm building. Laundry is right next door in the basement of Daniels. It's right near the quad and Alden, and super convenient for getting to and from classes. No walking up the hill! A lot of the rooms are quads, but there's also a number of triples, a few doubles, and a few singles on the 4th floor. If you get a triple, your friends will definitely be jealous about the amount of space you have. 10/10 do not regret my choice at all.

Definitely the best freshman option. The super tall ceilings makes all the rooms feel big and it’s only too hot for like 3 weeks of the year.
