I live in a corner room and it is so spacious! It's usually reserved for people with special accommodations but since it was free, we were lucky to be assigned to it. I live in a plaza triple and we have a lot of space and a private bathroom. Rieber Terrace's location is also very convenient -- we are close to Rende, the Study, and a short walk to everything else. One complaint about this building, however, would be that the elevators break quite often. This is tough for people who live on higher floors and often have to climb the stairs to their rooms...
I'm a sophomore and I really enjoy living in Rieber Terrace! I like the location (although it is above the death stairs), it is very close to rendezvous, the study, and Feast, and the view is not bad. Not as social as other dorms (since I'm on a sophomore floor), but I really like the plaza room and bathroom. Overall I enjoy living here.
I lived here as a freshman and as a sophomore. As a freshman it was super social and a great experience. This year I’m on a sophomore floor so it’s not as social but still a great place to live
I love plazas so Rieber Terrace is pretty nice, but it is a little noisy since Rieber court is pretty busy, but I love the location, I am pretty close to everything. Some cons are the laundry room is pretty small and some of the machines are broken, sometimes the elevator breaks down and the lounges are usually pretty busy. But I love plazas, shared bathrooms & air conditioning. & the location is ideal with it being so close to rende and feast :)
Was a great place to stay for my second year! Pretty much the same as what you can expect from a suite - roommates will likely make or break the experience so choose wisely. Definitely not the closest dorm from campus but not too far either, just give yourself ample time when walking to class. Best part of the building is probably the fact that Rende is right downstairs, so it definitely helps when you just need to grab a quick combo and get back to studying :)
It was a nice and quiet building to live in (but keep in mind that I lived it in during my first year, so I didn't have much to compare it to). I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to first-years who are trying to socialize and make friends. There were only a total of 6 freshmen on my floor (those in my room and the room next door) and the rest were upperclassmen, transfers, and some exchange students. No one really talked to each other unless they knew you, so it was pretty dead socially. As someone who is more of an introvert, I was fine with this, but I do feel like I missed out on a lot by not being in one of the classic buildings with all the other freshmen. The actual room itself was much more spacious in comparison to the classic dorm...
