Regan Hall Reviews

The dorms in Regan are the oldest on campus and form a small community next to Primero (dorms for transfer students). They don’t have the nicest rooms in this area, but the location is pretty good in my opinion (close proximity to Segundo DC, Memorial Union, UMall, etc.). There are fewer people that live in these dorms due to the smaller size of the buildings compared to other dorm areas. That means you can get pretty close to other students that get assigned to Regan, which gives it more of a tight-knit community experience.

Summary at bottom. Quad configuration was awesome. The fact that I could be up late at night working in the main room while my roommate slept was invaluable and helped us avoid many arguments over our very different sleep cycles. The sleeping area is very small, and the main room not exactly spacious, but it shouldn't be that big of an issue if you didn't bring a ton of your own furniture. Another perk about the dual room set up was that the main room could act to host other students without having them directly in your sleeping area, kinda like your own mini living room (emphasis on mini). This space functioned as a way to remain in your room when your roommate has someone over if you don't have anywhere else to go. I lived in Talara in t... See more

The Regan complex is walking distance from the Segundo DC (the best one), Segundo Services, and the ARC. The buildings themselves get a bad rap for their outdated style and lack of amenities but tend to foster tight-knight communities. Has a summer camp atmosphere.

Absolutely awful. The walls and ceilings are paper thin and I can hear everything. There's only one common area so basically no place to study if your room isn't an option; there's only one bathroom on each floor and for only one gender. Only one laundry site, one common kitchen for all seven buildings at the main area outside of the dorm which is incredibly inconvenient if you're looking to cook on the weekends or in general. Bike parking is also so insecure; unlike the other buildings where there's a sort of shelter type area for the bikes (also brightly lit at night), Regan bike parking structures are hardly lit and many bikes have been stolen. This place also has quads--basically 4 people are sharing a common space with two in each sepa... See more

I lived in Indio during my freshman year. Everyone seems to hate on Regan for being some of the oldest dorms on campus but it honestly is a pretty charming area with a nice community feel. My building was all female so I didn't have an issue with the bathrooms there, but for some of the other buildings with alternating male/female bathrooms on each floor that can be annoying to have to go up or down one floor. Bathrooms and lounge were clean. The kitchen on the bottom floor is really small but you can always go to the main Regan study lounge which has its own kitchen too. The one thing I didn't like much about Regan is that there's no elevators which made moving in a bit harder, but you get used to it. Overall it's a nice area with decent d... See more

Oldest dorms on campus, women’s restroom was upstairs, there are just overall better dorms on campus.

There’s only one bathroom per floor. So if ur a dude who lives on the second floor u gotta walk all the way downstairs and if ur a girl who lives on the first floor u gotta go upstairs for the bathroom. Also the dorm building is surrounded by a bunch of trees so if u have seasonal allergies it’s gonna be a living hell. Try and avoid Regan at all costs.

Regan is a collection of dorms with one main building that acts as a meeting/ study area. I was in Sereno Hall. Old building, but has plenty of bike parking and is super close to the ARC/ Segundo DC. All doubles or singles and has a communal kitchen. Sereno was also home to the Music, Arts and Performance LLC. The only thing I didn’t like was that air conditioning/ heating was controlled by Student Housing so sometimes you could not heat your room above 70 degrees or cool your room below 75.

I found the quad to have a lot more room than a typical double because the desks were in a separate common area that allowed my roommates and I to have more personal space. The dorms are older and don’t have elevators and the bathrooms alternate genders by floor. Regan is in a great location on campus and I really enjoyed it. There is a very large study lounge in the center of the dorm area with a small kitchen which was great for study groups.

Campo Hall within Regan is one of the oldest dorms on the campus, but personally, I loved it. It is small (about 60 people) and only 2 stories. It has a sort of court-yard feel and has a better sense of community (in my opinion) than many of the other dorms. Dorm rooms were bright and clean! Only downside is that if you're a girl living downstairs you have to go upstairs for the main bathroom (and vice versa). However, there is a gender neutral bathroom right near the main entrance and its kind of nice to have a more private bathroom downstairs anyways. I also really enjoyed the location. It is super close to the ARC, so its easy to go workout whenever you want. It's also close to the dining commons. There are multiple nice open outdoor spa... See more
