East Quad Reviews
University of Michigan
Reviews Summary
East Quad is highly praised as one of the best dorms on campus, offering a blend of comfort, convenience, and a vibrant living experience. The dorm features spacious rooms, many equipped with personal A/C units, ensuring a comfortable stay during the warmer months. Though every room is different, the overall cleanliness and modern renovations impress residents. The central location is unbeatable, placing students within a 5-minute walk to the quad and close proximity to popular bars, ideal for social experiences. While it might not be the prime choice for nursing students due to its distance from the hospital, the reliable bus system compensates for this. Amenities within the dorm include a dining hall, mail room, and laundry facilities, which meet most student needs, although there is no kitchen for personal cooking. The dining hall offers decent food, with diverse options and a focus on accommodating vegetarians and vegans with initiatives like Meatless Mondays. Despite minor drawbacks like small windows leading to some stuffiness in winter, East Quad remains a top choice for many students seeking a lively and comfortable college living experience.

i loved east quad!! i was there during the summer semester of 2022 and had such a spacious room (obviously every room is different), and loved having AC (unlike my fall/winter dorm).

It is by everything. The quad is a 5-minute walk and all the good bars are nice and close. The basement is sick and the elevators are fast. The food was decent with lots and lots of options. Cons, classes are a bit of a walk.

East Quad was lit. RAs were great, if you’re a vegetarian or vegan they have Meatless Monday’s, and yea. Overall 10/10.

It's probably one of the best dorms out here. I think the food isn't the best but the location is perfect and it's clean. If you're in Ross then it's right next door. The only issue is there isn't a kitchen so it would be hard to cook on your own if you didn't buy a dining hall pass.
p.s. I came from Jed's vid ;)

Being it nursing student, the location wasn’t too ideal. But it’s fine with the buses! There’s really everything you need in there (dining hall, mail room, laundry). Everything looks pretty renovated too.

Great dorm, but the windows were small and could only be opened a little so it was a bit stuffy and dry in the winter. Fantastic bathrooms and very central location. Would 100% live here again!
