UT Austin Dorms Ranked

"Overall it’s fine to live here. For me at least, it lacked in energy and it was difficult to meet new people on your floor. I’m not sure if it was because it’s in the Honors Quad, but most people mainly stuck to themselves and I only really talked with people I knew from my high school in the dorm. The facilities are fine though and they clean often so that’s not a downside at all. Location-wise it is pretty far from central campus area but honestly the walk isn’t too bad and there are times where you can appreciate the quiet area more. It might be less stuffy than jester. And it’s near kinsolving dining which arguably has better food. "

"Pros: - Close to Jester and food hall - Very tightknit and fun community - Not too crowded, with nice study areas Cons: - No mirror in dorm room - No sink in dorm room"

"Lived on the first floor so it lowered my rating a bit. At night people would walk through the hallway and it can get pretty loud. Other than that it was pretty good living here because of the location and overall environment."

"Everything here is pretty good when it comes to social life, rooms, building and bathrooms. Pretty solid experience and really enjoyed time staying here, do note that it is a dorm so things like smells in the hallway, loud neighbors, messy toilets and other things that can't really be controlled are things that will always be present. "

"all girls, good experience overall. food was great. there’s a market and a dining hall inside. safe environment!"

"Great location. Get to dining hall faster than people in Jester. Great windows with lots of light. Built in wooden cabinets. No elevator. Laundry in basement. Loved living here. Much better than honors, Jester, Kinsolving, and LLC rooms."

"It’s clean, new, and quiet, but farther from a lot of popular buildings than other dorms, but it is closer to the engineering buildings."

"A good place to make friends and settle into college. I liked how everything was close on campus. Highly recommend for any incoming freshman"

"Dorms are tied with Duren for the nicest on campus. San Jac is the most expensive though. Lots of student athletes live here and it’s close to the stadium/south campus buildings. Only con is that there is one laundry room for the whole residence hall, and the south tower has a reputation for constantly smelling like marijuana. If the price point works for you, San Jac is a solid option for UT students. "

"Castilian was a lot more clean and spacious than the other dorms my freshman year (2020-2021) and although it was during COVID, still had a good time meeting people and having lots to eat!"
