yakʔitʸutʸu Reviews

California Polytechnic State University - SLO

Reviews Summary

yakʔitʸutʸu is the newest and one of the most modern dorms on campus, offering a variety of appealing amenities and a vibrant community atmosphere. The facility is exceptionally clean and features modern touches, making it a standout choice for students. The dorms boast spacious rooms, particularly the quads, which can comfortably accommodate multiple students along with all their furniture. However, the room layout has been noted to be less than ideal, causing some space inefficiency. The bathrooms are co-ed with adequate stalls, and while the laundry facilities are limited with only four machines, the abundance of study rooms on each floor compensates with expansive areas conducive to studying and socializing. A highlight is the scenic view that can be enjoyed from the dorms. Located at the edge of campus, the dorm is close to dining options like Vista Grande but can be a bit of a trek to academic buildings. All things considered, yakʔitʸutʸu is highly recommended for its contemporary comfort and dynamic community.

These dorms were super clean and modern. They are the newer dorms on campus so they have a lot more amenities and common spaces than other dorms on campus. There are also really nice study rooms which were super helpful. Definitely recommend!

Really good dorm. It was super clean, new, and modern. There are also a lot of common areas which are incredibly useful for studying/getting work done as well as a great way to socialize and meet people on your floor.

Great dorm. I lived in a double so it was very spacious. The bathrooms are all-gender which is only weird if you’re the one making it weird. It was nice to have a kitchen, but the sink definitely needed a garbage disposal. There are vending machines, water bottle stations, and microwaves throughout the building. There are only 4 laundry machines for the whole building so they get pretty busy.

The building is very clean and new (around 4-5 years old). The room is very spacious and can fit 3 people comfortably and the quads are huge. It can fit 4 twin xl beds on the ground with the dresser and desk very comfortably. The buildings are the at the corner of campus so the walk to class is a bit far, but it was a 2 min walk to the dining hall.

My room layout is terrible but other than that it is pretty nice. The building has 2 study room and one living room on each floor and a kitchen and laundry room at the bottom. There is a view of the peak right outside my dorm which looks beautiful during sunset and sunrise. I wished this school picked better furniture and designed the room layouts better. A lot of space is wasted making the room smaller than it should be.

Lived here last year, and honestly I'm so glad that I got to live in these dorms. They're the newest ones on campus, and for what you're getting its a great location to live. It's a five minute walk to Vista Grande for food, as well as food trucks that come to the PAC in the evening that you can spend you dining dollars on.
The bathrooms are co-ed, and there's four bathroom stalls and four shower stalls, but usually there's always an open stall, else I would just go to another floor's instead (there's two bathrooms per floor). I lived in a quad (one of two per floor as well), and I had plenty of room for my stuff. Being so close to the PAC was also a really great plus, as I often went to plays and talks that were held there (tickets for mo...

These dorms are the brand new, clean and modern with numerous lounge and study rooms. Biggest downside is that they’re on the very edge of campus and it can be a long walk to anything.
