Quad III Reviews
Rutgers University-New Brunswick
Reviews Summary
Quad III is a college dorm that receives mixed reviews from students. A prominent downside is the lack of air conditioning and the inability to control the heat, making temperature regulation a common complaint. The heat tends to stay on too late into the year, contributing to discomfort. The bathrooms are a highlight, being spacious and equipped with shower stalls instead of curtains, which is not always the case in freshman dorms. Although cleanliness can be an issue at times, the custodial staff generally maintains the restrooms well. The dorm’s location is convenient, situated next to a bus stop and close to the dining hall, minimizing travel hassle. While the dorm lacks an elevator and has inconvenient laundry facilities, its large windows allow ample natural light. Quad III is generally considered a suitable option for freshmen, as it fosters community among floormates. However, it's not highly recommended for upperclassmen seeking more comfort and convenience. Overall, it offers an average living experience with notable pros and cons.

The quads aren't great. They don't have AC, they're not the most clean, the haet stays on way too late into the year, etc. That being said, it's a great freshman year dorm. The bathrooms are spacious enough and you get shower stalls rather than just a curtain (as is the case at other first-year halls). The res hall is located right next to a bus stop and the walk to the dining hall is far from strenuous. They also provide a great environment to cultivate relationships with your floormates. I would recommend Quad III to any first-year student (above that yeah it's pretty much a death sentence).

The dorms are decently sized, but there is no A/C and you can’t control the heat so it’s usually hot or cold in the dorm no in between. The bathrooms are average I guess, they are cleaned often by the staff. Nice big windows that let light in tho. Overall painstakingly average dorms

It’s one of the worst places to live at Rutgers. I highly recommend that whoever gets an offer from this place to move out ASAP else ya screwed. There is no AC and it’s always hot asf whenever I walk into the rooms. The bathrooms can be nasty at times even though they are usually cleaned up by the custodians for the most part. I’ll repeat this again... whoever gets this place please GTFO there ASAP.

Sucks. No elevator, laundry is so inconvenient. Only worth it if you’re assigned here as a freshman. Otherwise just go somewhere else

It's alright if you're on Livingston (Towers get a lot hotter) but it still gets pretty hot. Bus stop and gym are right outside as pluses.
