Ranking the Dorms at Georgetown University

It was such work to get to Darnall and from Darnall. Literally, walking from Darnall to the gym was already a workout. I sent a request to fix 2 of the 5 showers in the men's room and it took an entire semester. If you want anything fixed ASAP, have your parents call/complain, it makes them do it quicker. Rooms do not have private bathrooms and there is construction of the new hospital wing for the foreseeable future so and it is next to Darnall. XD - 4 years ago

Henle is a mixed bag. Some parts are quiet. The fish bowl is always loud. Some apartments are small, and some are big.

I had 2 doubles and a single. The rooms were a good size, but the living room/kitchen is the biggest perk.

Bathroom was pretty solid as well. No major issues even with 5 people.

Location is a little further from some classes and the library, but you have Epi and Leavey nearby.

Overall, would recommend unless you have a bunch of 9AM classes in Walsh. - 4 years ago

It's definitely not the worst freshman dorm, the views can be really awesome and the location is ideal as it is very close to the dining hall. However, the building is quite old, there is a serious mold and pest problem. And the WCs...

Oh those WCs. Gents' WCs are ALWAYS pretty rank. Maybe it has something to do with the users of the said facilities but they are bad - 4 years ago

Not the best of your 2nd year housing options, but it has its own bathroom, and that's ba huge perk.

Most people kept to themselves. If you want a dorm that's just for you to relax, this is for you. If you want to live in a party dorm, look elsewhere.

My common room had a foosball table, but that might have just been for that year. - 4 years ago

Copley is a beautiful building in one of the best locations on campus. The basement and first four floors are suite-style with two doubles connected by a shared bathroom. The rooms are nice and clean. This is probably the nicest housing you can get as a group of sophomores going through the housing lottery. The only downside is that your RHO is all the way in Arrupe. - 4 years ago

Nevils is the nicest on-campus housing. Your Nevils apartment will not be as big as a townhouse, but it will nicer overall and have newer appliances. It has easy access to Wisey’s, Walsh, Tombs, and Car Barn, and there’s an RHO downstairs in LXR. - 4 years ago

Pros - More spacious (especially desk space), larger windows and better ventilation. Good location in the middle of campus.

Cons - Elevators broke often so had to use stairs, sound travels very far so might be hard to sleep at night especially if you live in a cluster. - 4 years ago

Arrupe is top noch. If you're looking for a clean place without a kitchen, with central location and great amenities, look no further. Units ending in 02 and 15 are a bit bigger than the others. 4 Person units (most common) come with 1 shower room, 1 bathroom, 1 sink and 2 rooms. Amenities include a fridge, freezer and microwave. There are also some 2 and 6 people units. - 2 years ago

Great views with wonderful location and a private bathroom. These features really eliminated all my worries of bad housing. - 4 years ago
