Pentland Hills offers a unique dorm experience with private bathrooms shared among a small number of hallmates, ensuring a higher level of cleanliness and privacy. The dorm's suite-style layout fosters a more secluded environment, making it ideal for students who prefer a quieter living space. Residents appreciate the cozy and social lounge areas equipped with kitchen amenities, promoting interaction among peers. While some find the rooms to be on the smaller side, the community spirit and well-maintained facilities enhance the overall living experience. With convenient access to dining halls and campus buildings, Pentland Hills provides a balance between social engagement and personal space, creating a comfortable transition for incoming students.

The University of California, Riverside (UCR) is a public research university in Riverside, California.

There are 4 dorms that are available to freshmen: Aberdeen-Inverness (AI), Dundee, Pentland Hills, and Lothian (East and West). Lothian and AI are your typical dorms, Pentland is a suite-style, and Dundee is similar to a hotel. Dundee and Lothian have their own dining halls which is a plus. Glen Mor and North District are popular on-campus apartment options for second-years and up. Falkirk, The Plaza, and Bannockburn are relatively inexpensive apartments but do not come with furniture. Stonehaven is a gated community.
