Sunset Village is a pretty good dorm. I lived in a double room and it was nice, we have private bathrooms and they are really spacious. The rooms are also spacious and the closets are big too. I really like the set up for the room it’s like one bed and one desk in a line on the two sides and there’s space in the middle so there’s enough room for everything. We also had a window which brought in a lot of light. The dorms are far from other ones so it can be a little isolating but otherwise good.
Canyon point has some of the largest rooms and private bathrooms. However, the building is also pretty old— there is AC and heating, but no thermostat so you have to use this dial system that makes it hard to keep the room at a constant temperature.
I think Sunset is great if you want somewhere quiet and close to campus. The rooms in Canyon Point are large and spacious. Fair warning though, the building is older and while it has AC/heating, there’s no thermostat— just a dial for you to manually turn on the heat/AC.
I lived in sunset village courtside during my freshman year and it was completely different than what I expected. My room was near the entrance so the size and structure of my room was a lot more confusing and inconvenient than the other dorms in courtside. Due to this, I could only open the bathroom and entrance door half-way if my roommates were studying. It would’ve been easier if it was a double but definitely not as convenient for three people. PROS: Privacy, quietness, and clean, close to North Campus CONS: Hardly any social interaction, comparatively further away from other Hill dorms and Hill Food options, Hardly any space to have people over in the room. Courtside is a good option to stay your junior or senior year but definit...
It is very peaceful living here (specifically in Canyon Point). The building is close to all the dining halls and is close to campus. The rooms and bathrooms are nice and big. :)
Pros: Quiet place with the occasional party. Cons: Sometimes has pesticide infestation. Due to the quietness, people may also be antisocial.
Pros: Quiet and isolated for people who want their individual space. Great walking distance to really anywhere on the Hill. Spacious room for the double plaza shared bathroom I am in right now. Cons: Sound isolation is bad. Environment is wet, dampy, and moist at times. Ant infestation problems, rusty sink amenities and drawers. Mostly for Delta Terrace
I really liked living here I chose sunset both years so far and I really liked it. The location is convenient and it’s very quiet
I was in sunset village courtside. the location is the best part; it's quiet, secluded and close to a lot of dining. It's also not as far uphill as other dorms. downsides were that there wasn't a ton of natural light in the room and the laundry room always has a lot of broken down machines (that aren't always labelled). My room had hardwood floors which was cool, and was a reasonable size.
I lived in Sunset Village, Canyon Point as a transfer student in a triple plaza. There was one loft bed and one bunk bed. Our room was adjoined with another via a shared bathroom including a toilet, shower, and two sinks. You can lock the bathroom out from the room side. While the room was a bit cramped for three, I was able to economize my space with my desk and dresser under my lofted bed next to the window. Each resident gets some closet space, a desk, chair, and mattress. Canyon Point is also located in a more isolated area on the Hill which as a transfer was preferable as the area was always quiet, peaceful, and away from the noise one would typical attribute to dorm life. However, the buildings only had a common space on the first out...
