IU Bloomington Dorms Ranked

"I remember the bathroom had cockroaches and we had to get an exterminator to set up traps. Shared showers were gross and there was no ac. "

"Wright Quad is one of the most central dorms on campus. It is close to Wells Library, GISB, Fine Arts Building, and more. The bus stop is also very close if needed as well. Not to mention it is the cheapest dorm to live at on campus! What's bad is living at the dorm itself. Wright Quad is one of few dorms that do not have air conditioning. It gets very hot in the warm weather and it gets very uncomfortable. The bathrooms are also not clean at times. The showers are very tight and don't have much room. "

"I lived in Teter freshman year during the 2020-21 school year with COVID so I got to live in a double by myself. I lived in Rabb which was recently renovated so the room itself was super nice and clean. The semi-private bathrooms are a plus compared to traditional communal-style bathrooms. Additionally, the location is absolutely amazing as you're in the central part of campus."

"Fun, lively, clean. Room was not the best size compared to more expensive dorms but was a great location. "

"I really enjoyed having a private bathroom (lived in a single w a connecting bathroom). There was a lot of counter space and cabinet space to keep everything I needed in the bathroom, along with a really nice window, without having to worry about storage space."

"I lived in Briscoe during my 2021-22 first year at IU. Briscoe is an excellent place to live on campus. My room set-up was spacious, open, and included an AC system and natural daylight — many different Briscoe room configurations available for roommates, suitemates, and private dorms. Additionally, the bathroom situation is very convenient, with every room having a private or semi-private bathroom. Other areas include the Briscoe lounge, on-site academic resources, the campus bus stop, and the McNutt dining hall, which is just a short walk away. Near Briscoe is the Kelley School of Business, O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA), and the Godfrey Graduate and Education Executive Center. Finally, I met many great new friends on my floor just by talking to them and participating in floor activities. Overall, I would recommend Briscoe as a great place to stay on campus!"
