McCarty Hall is a popular residence for students at the University due to its proximity to the campus, including areas like the IMA, Greek Row, and U village. It's particularly convenient for Business and CS majors, as it's very close to related facilities. Also appreciated are the functional amenities, like a spacious closet, a reasonably large desk, and various common areas.

However, it may not be suitable for triples due to limited space, thus recommending it more for doubles. Despite boasting features like modern furniture and great lighting, the rooms could induce discomfort over time. The rooms were reportedly dusty and some residents faced issues with noise levels due to thin walls and ceilings, necessitating earplugs for effective sleep.

The presence of facilities like the dining hall and study lounges nearby are a plus, but noise from social activities can sometimes make these spaces less conducive for study. The dorm is generally considered clean and comfortable, but lacks air conditioning in individual rooms. There have been few security issues, with incidents of unauthorized entry. Worth noting is the occasional delay in maintenance response. Despite these minor issues, McCarty Hall provides a wholesome college living experience.

The University of Washington is a public research university in Seattle, Washington.

UW dorms come in a few different styles: single, double and triple rooms, suite style rooms, and apartment style rooms. First year students get last priority to choose a room, so they usually occupy the double, triple, and suite style rooms. Upperclassmen usually move off campus or choose to live in the apartment style rooms. There are also two main locations of dorms, West and North campus. When living on campus you are forced to have a dining plan with Housing and Food Services which enables you to eat at the dining halls and other on campus food options.
