Read 4 Park-Stradley Hall reviewsRated 3.6 / 5 stars by 2 OSU students
"I loved living in res on 10th. You get so much more space than your traditional dorm. It has the most amazing windows that let in so much natural light. You get a nice sized closet and your own shower for the suite. You also get a larger fridge and some furniture in the common area. The building is clean and modern and new and you don’t have to worry about loud neighbors really. I loved my time in res definitely my favorite place that I have lived on campus. It is the ideal college dorm situation."

"I lived in a quad so it wasn’t that spacious but it wasn’t bad either. It was a really convenient location for me with Haight st being super close and all my classes being walking distance and Scott’s was two seconds away so I liked it tbh. If you’re an arts and science major then I definitely recommend. "
Read 1 Haverfield House reviewRated 3.8 / 5 stars by 1 OSU student
"Cheap dorm with some decent sized rooms and some huge rooms (corner rooms). Cleanliness depends on the particular staff and your neighbors. Room furniture isn't the nicest or newest but is adequate. Buildings feature a pool table and table tennis, two kitchens per building, and a TV area. Lots of space to study around the building."
Read 1 Scholars East/West reviewRated 4 / 5 stars by 2 OSU students
"I was in a double on the top floor. The rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows. Being on the top floor our ceiling and windows were taller than the other floors. Bathrooms could get trashed if maintenance didn't stop by for a week or so. The rooms were pleasant to live in but smaller than the older dorms. As a location, Bowen is the furthest northeast dorm, and you should add some time to your commute according. One of my favorite and least favorite parts was having windows facing High Street. It was always entertaining to look down and have something interesting to watch. However, it could get loud a night from cars revving their engine down High Street or Emergency Vehicles. "

"Freshman Honors dorm, great location and attached to kcomm. It’s connected to Paterson and BradPat feels like one big dorm. It’s nicer than Mack/Canfield but not as good as siebert, morrison, etc. Bathrooms are communal but were recently renovated so they’re alright."

Raney
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars by 1 OSU student
"I roomed in raney my freshman year and it was really nice. The bathrooms weren’t what I was expecting(they were better) and the room itself was nice. The building was pretty modern too. My favorite part was the distance from high street and places like Scott and nrec. I had a pretty quiet floor so if you are looking to be more social raney probably isn’t the best fit. The normal 2 person rooms themselves are a tad bit small but they are nice nonetheless. "

"Loved Houston. The building was great, the location was great, the rooms were great... I could go on forever! One thing I really loved was having the kitchen/building lounge on the second floor- if you’re studying there you won’t get distracted by people walking in and out of the building, and it’s just a lot more private overall."
