It was amazing, I felt really safe and it was nice being close to the gym! Also so close to all of my classes, so I really appreciated the location. Just wish there was more parking.

Honestly the best dorm to live in as a freshman!! Rooms are spacious with walk in closets and some even have private bathrooms. I lived in a double and shared an external bathroom with 3 other rooms. Amenities wise, Ogg is right next to the Nick as well as Gordon’s. The 80 stops right in front of the dorm and you really couldn’t ask for a better location.

There are dens and kitchens on every floor. The kitches are pretty minimal but there is a stove, oven, and microwave in them. The dens have tables, chairs and chars with attached desks. There is also a TV. There are printers on the first floor. The room tends to be used a...
