Shaw Hall, situated in an enviable location right on the river and central to campus, makes commute to classes a breeze. Its proximity to the bus station lends additional convenience. The dorm is equipped with a fitness room and an on-site dining hall, which serves decent breakfast and good food, albeit with early closure times, limited options compared to other halls, and rare openings on weekends. Rooms range in size from snug to sizable, with some offering the appeal of closets and options for a three-person occupancy. However, privacy may occasionally be compromised in rooms that jut out further. A recurring concern among residents is the state of the community bathrooms – unclean and sometimes even disgusting, they are marred with issues like mold, broken pipes causing unpleasant odors and flooding, toilet paper shortages, frigid water temperatures and low water pressure. Furthermore, the lack of decently equipped common study rooms and a frequently malfunctioning elevator are sources of inconvenience. Generally calm and quiet since it mainly houses second-year students, Shaw Hall is considered average in terms of overall living experience.
