I lived in Earhart during my freshman year. it's considered one of the nicer dorms as it has air conditioning and is a slightly newer building compared to others. It was a comfortable and clean place to live in. It gives off the standard dorm and college experience. The bathrooms were very updated and clean, making them really nice to use. The dorms were slightly small for a two-person but way better than the likes of Meredith or Cary hall. The other con is that it's pretty far away from the academic campus but there's a bus stop right outside so it's easy to commute. Overall a nice place to live for a freshman.

I lived in Earhart Hall as a freshman! It was very spacious and clean. I also was able to meet many new friends from this dorm! I loved that there was a dining court within the hall as well. Similar to many freshman dorms, there’s communal bathrooms, so you share, but it’s all either boys or all girls depending on your floor as it was separated by gender at least when I was there in 2019.

I loved living in Earhart as a freshman! Everyone - from the students living in the dorm to the maintenance staff - was super welcoming and friendly. I loved studying in the open area on the first floor and that students there would just chill despite not knowing each other. To add, I'd say I experienced a more diverse community there compared to other dorms. I've had people from other dorms visit me and be a bit surprised with how diverse it is compared to their dorms. I was also very fortunate enough to have floor mates who maintained cleanliness in the communal bathrooms. The only cons I'd say is that closet space can be small, but that may just be a personal preference. Also, sometimes the driers in the laundry room wouldn't heat up and...

Earhart is a very solid dorm, and I'd say well worth it, especially since it's cheap. Pros: -DINING COURT IN THE BUILDING. Extremely nice especially when the weather is not. IMO Earhart food is a solid B+, and very consistent day to day. -Air conditioning. It works. nuff said -Nothing important is broken for longer than a day, and rarely Cons: -Shows its age in some ways. Elevators are sketchy, rooms are a little small, it's not a beautiful building. 100% liveable tho, this is not on the level of Tark. -Location is a bit out of the way. Pretty central for residential campus, the COREC and Krach are very close, but the engineering mall is a solid hike. -Sense of community is a solid C. The lobby is not much to look at with not a ton of act...

I lived here my freshmen year, the bathrooms were newly renovated and the rooms were decent. The lobbies were modern and the location is pretty solid.

My favorite dorm of all. I lived in McMile freshmen year, Earhart had the NICEST bathrooms (I've been to all dorms), good food (Earhart Dining Court is right below, I went to get breakfast, lunch, and dinner in my PJ's before), nice piano (I use to practice quite a bit), best soft serve ice cream selection (rotates every week), good location (very close to academic, like a 10-minute walk, but maybe because I walk fast), and good scenery. Plus, the Sloop and Connector bus stops literally on the girls' side of the dorm, so you could take the bus to classes (I did this quite a bit). I would suggest this as first place HANDS DOWN.

The social life here cannot be beat. I met my main group of friends just by hanging out in the lobby doing homework most nights. The rooms have great closets with built-in mirrors, and the desks fit nicely under a lofted bed. The bathrooms were just renovated when I moved in, so they were super nice and clean. The water pressure was amazing too, I still dream about Earhart showers.

Lived here 2019-2020 academic year. The bathrooms were recently renovated but are a little small. The dining court on the first floor is super convenient. The elevators are kinda bad and the location is far from classes but close to most dining courts and the gym.

Living at Earhart was my prime year for school. Met my closest friends here and we've had a ton of fun at Earhart. Dining court is in the same building so it was very convenient for people who lived in Earhart.
