Wilson Reviews

Wilson is suite style which is super nice. My double was really big and the a/c goes as cold as you want. The private bathroom was great (assuming your suitemates help you clean it), and it was one sink/bathroom/shower for four people. Wilson’s common room isn’t the best of all the dorms but it’s very lively and people like to hang out there. Only 4 washers/dryers so you need to find an odd time to do laundry sometimes. Wilson’s location is hands down the best, there is a computer lab with printers attached to the dorm, right between Marketplace and the bus stop.

It's the suite life, so it can be a real hit-or-miss depending on other people in the suite since the bathrooms need to be cleaned among yourselves. This means you get practically your own private bathroom, but ours was clogged a few too many times, and we couldn't fix it so we had to find external bathrooms until maintenance came a week later (it stank during that time).

Wilson has some of the biggest rooms on East campus. The location is also super convenient. I was really glad to have a suite style bathroom as it is so nice to immediately be able to access the bathroom outside of your room and have more privacy. The community is awesome! Also Dr. Roy (the FIR) is really nice and does cookie nights every week (with his dog)! Could not ask for a better freshman dorm - will miss it.

The suite-style housing sounds like a good idea, but really the bathrooms are very small and gross. Also, my suite had eight girls sharing one toilet and two VERY small showers. We also had to clean it ourselves. My room was awesome. It was super big and had a fairly spacious closet. The AC was only from a unit, not central AC, but it did the job. Wilson's location is the best on East Campus, right between the bus stop and Marketplace. Also, the basketball players live in this dorm. It's not a bad dorm, but because of the bathroom I would not recommend this dorm to a friend.
