Centennial Hall Reviews
UC Los Angeles
Reviews Summary
Centennial Hall is widely regarded as one of the nicest dorms on campus, praised for its spacious and modern amenities. Students enjoy the large rooms, even in triple occupancy setups, which still feel spacious and offer ample storage. The building's cleanliness and newness contribute to a pleasant living experience, with added perks like air conditioning and a convenient automatic water bottle filler. Residents appreciate the safety and peacefulness of Centennial, finding the environment respectful and conducive to respecting quiet hours. A standout feature is the proximity to multiple dining options, making meal access convenient and varied. However, the dorm's location at the top of the hill is a common critique, as it poses a longer walk to classes. Despite the distance, the building's comfort, excellent public bathrooms, and large lounges often outweigh this inconvenience. Overall, Centennial Hall offers a high-quality living experience in a vibrant yet peaceful setting.

Perks of Centennial is quick accessibility to Rieber dining options, the makerspace, tennis courts, and hitch courts. The downside is that it is a longer walk to class.

Centennial was AWESOME. Could not have asked for a better dorm. People were great, prime location for dining halls, and everything felt new.

centennial is quiet and peaceful. rooms are HUGE. not too many people per floor so the lounges are usually free. laundry room is kinda small and machines break often. the rooms facing hitch lack natural light. but overall would recommend 🫶🏻

I love living in Centennial! The rooms are massive, it feels very spacious even living in a triple and there is plenty of storage. The windows are quite large and on the side facing the tennis courts (which I am), you have a great view and sunset as well as free entertainment (watching the tennis courts below). The AC is very nice as well. The rooms have plenty of storage although one dresser (beneath bed) is smaller. My only other complaint is that there is a beam above one of the sides that can make either the top bunk or loft person in danger for hitting their head.
In terms of the actual building I really like the newness and cleanliness of it. Previously I lived in Olympic so the move to Centennial was not that drastic but I do highl...

I have lived in Centennial for two years, and it is probably the nicest dorm on campus along with Olympic. The rooms are spacious, and the public bathrooms are super nice. It is somewhat inconvenient that it is so far, and some people don't like walking to get water or use the bathroom, but I would take the tradeoff for the amenities and really nice living conditions. Everyone is also generally very nice and respectful of quiet hours.

The bathrooms are really nice and the rooms have AC. They have the best water fountain on the second floor.

Olympic/Centennial has the biggest and best deluxe triples! Great bang for your buck. A new building so barely used and new amenities. Only downside is the location, it is almost as far up the hill as Hedrick. But it is super safe and close to dining halls.

New building which has nice bathroom and deluxe triple rooms. Pretty far from campus is one of the few cons.
