"The most standard of dorms possible. It’s not glamorous and its not fancy, but I never had an issue living there."

"1st floor is absolute hell, first semester during my final exams a pipe burst had to move out, second semester same thing happened and me and my roommates personal items were damaged by the water but we recieved no compensation because apparently the contract that we have no power to negotiate states that you have to have insurance. Pro tip buy renters insurance from a reputable company nearby. First-floor bathrooms are shared with the people next door pray that they are clean people because the people I had to live with were horrible, their towels smelled putrid as you walked by to use the toilet they would leave hampers in the shared bathroom and when the maintenance team told them not to put it there they began to leave clothing on the bathroom floor in piles. The smell go so bad I had to buy air fresheners which did not help by the way and this is not even mentioning the black mold that appeared after winter break which got so bad that the walls and ceiling were covered in it. Overall pray you are lucky to not get bad suitemates and not get the first floor. The room itself was not the worst however Davidson is a better choice."

"I got a double in Church and it's pretty small but not bad. The bathroom kinda sucks though since it's shared between two rooms, and the bathroom doors have no locks. The shower is very tiny and the rest is okay I guess. It's really nice to be basically in the center of campus though, as classes and dining hall and stuff are as close as can be basically."

"Cary hall makes up for in personality what it lacks in style. It's the best by far for those who are cultured enough to realize it. Barton shmarton, Cary will live on. "

"Warren is spilt in half with a wall that acts as a 2 closets on one side and a peg board on the other. It feels like 2 singles and the in-room bathroom is really convenient. the room is larger than double rooms in bray, cary, etc. but the wall in the middle doesn’t really make it feel like that. the room is great day to day but it’s not great for having friends over. the lounge isn’t great but there are other places to study. the biggest downside is no ac. Warren is definitely one of the best dorms for freshmen "
