Taylor Tower Reviews

4-person rooms are pretty tight, not a lot of personal space, but private bathroom is a nice addition.

For freshmen in normal (non-COVID) circumstances, you’ll end up in a quad more than likely. While it is extremely crammed for space and the rooms and building are in need of an overhaul, the room is air-conditioned and is a suite with a common area for the roommates, a bedroom with 2 sets of bunks and 4 wardrobes/“closets”, and the best part, a private bath.

"Superdouble" suite with bedroom and study room. Very spacious if you have 2 people, not so much if you have 4 like most freshman would. Building is old compared to the new dorms.
