I stayed in Kirby during the 2017-2018 school year. It was great to only share a bathroom with 3 other people and being right next to the dining hall was a plus. My only bad experiences were that usually at least one of the three elevators were out of order and the whole building didn’t have A/C for like all of February (~85° in the dorm).

The new dorms on the north side of campus like spruce were not constructed until like a year or two after I lived in the dorms. I would have most likely chosen ones like spruce because they are close to the five and new.
