East Halls is a vibrant and diverse residence hall complex, offering a range of experiences for students at the university. From the nostalgia of unrenovated halls like Stone and Hastings to the modern amenities of renovated halls like Tener and Earle, East Halls caters to various preferences. The proximity to dining options like Findlay Commons and recreational facilities such as the IM building and stadiums make it a convenient living choice. While unrenovated halls may lack AC and have communal bathrooms, they provide a unique charm and ample opportunities for social interactions. On the other hand, renovated halls boast modern features like private bathrooms and AC units. The dorms are known for fostering a sense of community, with students often meeting new friends on their floors or at social events. Despite some drawbacks like distant class locations and occasional noise issues, East Halls offers a memorable freshman experience where students can engage in activities ranging from dorm parties to tailgates. Whether you prefer the character of traditional halls or the comforts of renovated ones, East Halls provides a dynamic and lively environment for students to thrive in during their first year at college.
