Room- I think the rooms are amazing for one person. They seem small, but really it's more than enough space. I put my dresser in the closet and was able to fit a futon along one of the walls, along with a max sized mini fridge/freezer. The amount of storage is very nice (it's easy to hide things like airfryers too, so long as you're not dumb with it). I was lucky enough to get a corner room between a supply closet and my suitemate, the thinnest walls are in the closet in most rooms.

Lots of storage, but it's a very narrow room. The closet I had was weird and could only hold clothes vertically, while some of the other rooms have actual closet space.

Housekeeping cleans your bathroom once a week. Laminate floors and one wall painted bright blue make the room feel a bit less like a jail cell than some other dorms. The basement has a nice lounge space, and the having Sparty’s right inside the building is super convenient. The rooms come with a large amount of storage and and furniture. The “worst” part of the rooms would have to be poor lighting.
