Miller Hall Reviews
UC Davis
Reviews Summary
Miller Hall offers a convenient yet somewhat distant living experience for students. Located at the top edge of campus, it is just a short walk to essential spots like Rite Aid, Trader Joe's, and the ARC gym, making it ideal for those who prioritize accessibility to amenities. However, the dorm is relatively far from classrooms, which encourages the typical freshmen bike experience or early departures for classes. It resides in the Segundo area, known for having the best dining commons. Miller Hall features five single-gender bathrooms per floor, cleaned daily except for the showers. The central lounge area on each floor enhances community bonding, while additional facilities like a study room, laundry room, and water fountain are located on the first floor. Although the wifi may not cater to heavy users, it supports basic streaming and video chats. The presence of flowers and greenery might pose challenges for allergy sufferers. With no kitchen available, residents must rely on dining services. Despite its shortcomings, Miller Hall's modern amenities and spacious windows remain appealing to many students.

I loved Miller hall and everything it had to offer. 2 minute walk from rite aid, 5 minute walk from trader joes and gas station. We were also insanely close to the ARC and DC!!
As for classes, we were a bit far but that's the whole freshmen bike experience! Overall, loved dorming at Miller.

Miller hall is super convenient! There's a parking lot right behind the building that security never checks so you can park for free. since it's at the very top edge of campus, it's super close to a rite aid, trader joe's, the gym and frat row/circle. that being said, it's pretty far from classrooms, but nothing a bike or leaving early can fix. plus, it's in segundo, which has the best dc.
there are 5 single gender bathrooms on each floor. i think each year, they change the gender for the bathrooms, according to the ratio of boys to girls on the floor, so there's always a 2 to 3 split. bathroom gets cleaned everyday, except the showers, so the hair build up can be really gross.
since miller is right by frat row, you occasionally hear pa...

The wifi was really slow (at least from my room) so i'd recommend using an ethernet cable. also, the water sucked ass. please bring/buy your own water filter. if you have bad allergies, good luck during spring cuz there are a TON of flowers and stuff right outside the hall

I lived in Miller Hall during the 2009-2010 school year, and back then it was the dorm for the Integrated Studies Honors Program (ISHP). ISHP seems to have moved to a different dorm since then, so my social experience probably won't be applicable for people moving in here in the future.
Overall, the building & accommodations were fine. Definitely nothing sub-par, and some parts of it were quite nice. I can't make any promises that this is still true ten years later, though.
