The Residence on Tenth
based on 2 reviews
The thermostat is merely a placebo. There is air constantly blowing out of the vents and they are very loud, day and night. The window shades have huge cracks that let a lot of light in (and there is a lot coming in from outside at night). The faucets have severely restricted flow and it takes a very long time to fill up a water bottle or wash your hands. - 4 years ago

Haverfield House
based on 1 review
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. - 2 years ago

Scholars East/West
based on 1 review
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. - 4 years ago

Bowen House
based on 2 reviews
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. - 2 years ago

Bradley Hall
based on 1 review
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. - 4 years ago

Raney
based on 1 review
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. - 1 year ago

Houston House
based on 2 reviews
This dorm is amazing! Two lounges on each floor, laundry on a floor with a giant lounge with kitchen and tv. The trash and recycling is in the building, so no going out in the cold to throw it away! - 4 years ago
