Elm Hall Reviews

Along with Alder/Poplar, Elm has bigger rooms (and bigger private bathrooms) compared to the other west campus dorms. The downside is that there's only 1 kitchen to share for the whole building on the bottom floor. Each floor has a handful of study lounges and two living room lounges with couches, a TV, and a microwave. RIP the elm tree out front, you will be missed

Good location and a triple is pretty big compared to others However, not a great kitchen and not as good of amenities as the other west campus dorms.

My only complaint is that there is only a kitchen on the lobby floor and not every floor. As for the social aspect, not too crazy, everyone was pretty chill.
