Ranking the Dorms at Princeton University

Blair Hall 3rd floor: very hot first two-three weeks, but really nice the rest of the time. Actually has temperature control during the winter, but needs fans in the fall and early summer/late spring months. No bugs, but slanted ceiling. Not very good lighting - 1 year ago

The singles can be really small but on the whole (despite a couple of rat issues in the building) it's fairly clean. the location is unbeatable, central to everything and so convenient - 2 years ago

Room 268: double + private bathroom
PROS of this room:
- overlooks the Forbes front lawn, good sunlight
- room shape and size is terrific
CONS of this room:
- right underneath a men's 3rd floor bathroom, had some ceiling leaks and plumbing issues as a result
- freshmen room (269) shares a wall
would recommend drawing into 267/266 instead

PROS of New Wing (compared to main inn)
- larger rooms, walk-in closet, bathtub, rectangular room makes for easy setup, more privacy
- heating system is much better than main inn
- no mold in the bathrooms, less musty overall
CONS of New Wing:
- occasional roaches
- no air conditioning
- less communal areas to fill a water bottle
for new wing vs. main inn -- decide if the occasional large annoyance is worth having an overall larger room with better amenities - 2 years ago

Brand new hall that was opened in Fall of 2023 but probably the worst Hall in Yeh College due to it being the furthest south. - 2 years ago

One of the bigger quads you can get in Whitman. Like most Whitman dorms, it is clean, has AC, good lighting, and never had any issues with bugs. Very close proximity to the laundry room, water fountain, and bathrooms. My roommates and I were able to fit a futon in the room, an ottoman, a TV, and 3 scooters.
Cons:
-One bedroom is significantly larger than the other.
-The smaller bedroom borders a small study space in the halls where some people might study late at night. Was never a big issue, but a couple times someone was drawing on the blackboard at night which was really annoying - 2 years ago

A corner room all to yourself. You simply cannot ask for something better than that. It's a great room with amazing natural light, plus the added bonus of a beautiful view of Poe Field from the comfort of your bed. I recommend you loft your bed. - 2 years ago

singles are spacious and it's nice to have a private/jack-and-jill bathroom. building is climate controlled. walls pretty soundproof. a bit weird to navigate the building/find laundry rooms but you get used to it. location kinda far down campus which is especially annoying with the construction but for me it's worth it for a nice single. i fit a small couch and tv in my room and still have plenty of floor space. - 2 years ago

-Nice building interior
-Has AC(a nice bonus during the beginning of the school year)
-Every room in this building has a private bathroom
-Each floor has a lounge and study room
-Easy access to laundry room and Studio 34 - 2 years ago

Hargadon is a great place to live, especially the 4th floor. It is generally really quiet, the bathroom is nice, and the space allows you to feel like an adult. You can make a space for yourself that is calm and productive without having to worry about any bugs or AC issues. - 2 years ago

Honestly, my favorite dorm I've lived in. Lots of natural light, large windows everywhere. The kitchen is relatively clean. I had a jack-and-jill, so I don't know if the communal bathrooms are clean, but there are lots of microwaves and printers and common spaces throughout the building. - 2 years ago
