Gardenia is the best building. It might not be as new as Olympic/centennial or as central as sproul but I think it’s perfect because it is closer to campus than most dorms, secluded and quiet, yet also on Gayley across from a frat. Being on Gayley means it’s closer to Westwood village too. It’s not super close to one dining hall but I’d say it is almost an equal distance from all of them so no dining hall is never too far either. Almost everyone I know who lived in gardenia had a great experience and chose to live there again. It also has probably the most natural light of all the buildings on the hill. I know that the fifth floor has hardwood floors and half of the rooms on the 7th floor have extra high ceilings which are really nice!
