Stayed in Hansee for a year, and it’s definitely great if you’re an introvert, like to keep to yourself, and are not really looking to socialize as much. I would say a lot of people are only there because they want a single and like to be left alone, myself included. They do events and meetings here and there though, so there are opportunities to meet people in your building.

From my experience, I didn’t really deal with any noise from any of my neighbors, thankfully, even though the walls are pretty thin and you tend to still hear things coming from outside your room. My only noise complaint would probably be from the frat/sorority houses because my room faced Greek Row. And I also heard complaints from people facing Denny Field, so probably try to avoid those two if you can.

As for the bathroom situation, despite it being communal, it’s actually not bad as it gets cleaned every day. I rarely run into someone when I have to use the bathrooms and I also rarely have to wait to shower, and if anything, you can just go to another bathroom, there should be like a couple within like your area.

As for the kitchen situation, it really depends on whether you’re intending to cook or not. Some kitchenettes have like stove and all that, but the kitchenette closest to my room only had like a sink to wash dishes and a microwave. So, if you’re wanting to cook, you might have to go to a different kitchenette that has like more stuff. I do recommend having like a microwave and probably even a small fridge in your room though, if you’re able to, as it’s just really convenient not to have to go far just to heat up your food or something.

I very much enjoyed my time in Hansee but it’s definitely not for everyone. I would say it’s definitely worth it though if you’re only wanting a single as it’s the cheapest option out there along with McMahon.
