Pine Hall, one of the newest residence options on campus, offers a mix of positives and some challenges based on student experiences. The rooms can feel cramped, especially when configured as triples, but proper storage solutions can help. Doubles, however, are more comfortable in size. The location is a significant draw for residents, being just a short walk from the dining commons, Latitude, and central campus buildings like Geidt Hall, TLC, and the gym, which some students find incredibly convenient for early classes. The dorm's windows and proximity to campus landmarks like the Davis water tower create a pleasant environment for study and relaxation. Unique all-gender communal bathrooms are maintained well by both custodial staff and students, making them mostly clean and accessible. While some students mention getting used to the nearby cows' smell, they appreciate the reduced odor due to Pine Hall's relative distance. The common areas and window nooks offer excellent spots for socializing, providing a conducive environment for making friends and easing the transition to college life. Challenges mainly arise from occasional laundry facilities maintenance issues and the feeling of overcrowding in certain room configurations. Despite these drawbacks, Pine Hall is appreciated for its modern design, good air conditioning, clean ambiance, and social atmosphere.
