Ranking the Dorms at Vassar College

I lived on the second floor of Main and it is probably the most neglected floor. Due to the Main layout, (Main is a dorm building with administrative offices on the first floor and part of the second floor), getting to another side of the building requires you to either walk up to the third floor or walk down to the first floor. Basically, it is detached from the other side of the second floor because there are admin offices that take up the majority of the second floor and this is closed off for students. the bathrooms SUCK! It is literally awful; we have mold, a leaky ceiling, and really gross overall. BUTTT If the other floors in Main are not too bad, especially the 5th floor. They re-did the fifth floor and it looks soo nice! THe rooms are big and the bathrooms are clean and decent. I lived in a triple on the second floor and although our room was pretty big, we have a HUGEE mice issue. We caught so many mice using traps and we did file complaints but they did not do much. - 2 years ago

I have currently finished my 1st semester at the Davison House. Based on my observations and personal experiences here are some of the pros and cons I can say about Davie:

Pros
- Recent Renovations: The facilities have recently been renovated with energy-efficient systems and modern common spaces
- Spacious Rooms: Although I have a relatively smaller dorm than others living in Davie, I've seen other peoples rooms and they boast a larger space compared to your average dorm rooms at Vassar

Cons:
- Location: Be prepared to walk farther for the primary places like the Deece, Main Building, or other classroom environments
- High Demand: Since Davie has been recently renovated, Davie has a competitive placement process so it will be difficult to be placed there. - 2 months ago
