I lived in Parkside J double, one of the regular dorms. It was an old building so it wasn't the nicest but it was decent enough. Parkside is farther away from your classes compared to Hillside, around 5-10 minutes more depending on which building you are in. The dining hall here is good (I lived there in Fall 2021). There is a lot of storage with the furniture that they provide for you. I would recommend this dorm if you are looking to dorm but also dorm on a budget.

The dorms were very outdated and there is no AC so it was brutal during the heatwave. Also the walls are very thin and you can hear everything!

It was a typical college dorm, but very dated and old looking. It is fine to live in but it could definitely use an update.
