The renovations made to the dorm in the summer of 2023 have made Leonard’s a great place to live. I have zero complaints and love this hall. Private bathrooms, beautiful lounges, great hall experience.
It is unsafe when bad things happen, and anyone can walk into Leonard without ID. The bathrooms are disgusting, and some toilets stop working halfway through the semester. Elevators go right by the fourth floor for some reason, or you can get trapped in them. The showers have no stalls on them with locks, so they use shitty shower curtains where you can see through the sides, and it is extremely uncomfortable, especially if you're a girl. The dorms get so hot during the spring that you must keep your shades down so your room isn't a sauna. Honestly, I hate living here and recommend that no student lives here.
Far from other freshmen dorms and classes, difficult terrain to access quickly and confusing for delivery drivers and parents alike. The bathrooms are poorly maintained and the rooms have carpets. Typically full of exchange students. Gets absurdly hot in the spring.
Beat up dorm, my year was the building was infamous for never having functioning elevators, as people would sometimes get trapped. AU only sends you to this dorm if they hate you.
