Ranking the Dorms at University of Arizona (U of A)

The size of the rooms is decent. The stairwells are extremely narrow and there are no elevators, so if you happen to roll your ankle and need crutches like I did.. good luck. Dark, dingy bathrooms full of cockroaches, but you won't find much better at this price point, and I didn't mind it too much. Overall good sense of community and nice location on Highland Ave. My only gripe about the location is its proximity to the marching band practice field, which made for some noisy Saturday mornings. - 4 years ago

Just a bit far from the campus center but provides winter housing, Pool and private bathroom - 4 years ago

Overall the location is great, I would say one of the best locations. But La Paz is lowkey prison vibes. The layout is all hallways and confusing. Not the greatest community in La Paz. Do what excites, Kelly - 2 years ago

Super nice dorm, expensive however. I loved the amenities there, and it’s a new building. It’s close to the rec and the only dining hall on campus, which gets a bad rep but it’s actually pretty good. Bathroom is massive and the actual room layout is weird but practical. Tons of storage. The dorms itself are a little far from actual campus but you definitely get used to the walk after a couple weeks. - 2 years ago

It was cool but I prefer private bathrooms and modern showers. Also bigger rooms but Other than that it’s completely fine - 2 years ago

Pros are that the location is great and the atmosphere of the place is nice. Cons the bathrooms can get a little gross at sometimes. You should expect to share a bathroom with a ton of people and hear the water jugs fall here and there. - 1 year ago

Very nice dorm. It used to be the old honors village so it has a great courtyard and a common area complete with a kitchen and ping pong tables. The dorm is newer compared to others and is very well maintained. Generally enjoyed my time in the arbol dorm - 1 year ago

In my opinion, Yavapai is the most underrated dorm on campus. The rooms are tile not carpet which is great for spills and easy cleanup. The rooms are also very wide and each roommate has enough space on their own side without getting in eachother's way.
Also, it is super central to everything and most things are only a 15 minute walk away at most. You also wake up and our lovely Old Main is only a 2 minute walk from the dorm. - 2 years ago

The walls are a bit thin so you do hear your neighbors. Ac is amazing, and the beds are comfortable enough. A good desk space and closets - 1 year ago

Pros:
Good location, close to Subway and Jack in the Box, and spacious rooms.
Cons:
Next to construction, bathrooms can be cleaned more often. - 1 year ago
