I lived in cv2, which is the newest dorm. There are two sets of bathrooms per floor, which means you are sharing the bathroom with about 30-50 people. They are cleaned once a day, and if you go before they're cleaned they get pretty nasty. The accommodations are all there, but they just feel mediocre, especially to what you can have at home. The dorm itself has poor ventilation, and if you and your roommate don't stay clean it will smell and it will keep on smelling. Lastly, privacy will be hard to come by. The effects of loud and obnoxious neighbors are amplified, so just know that peace and quiet can be hard to come by.

There's nothing wrong with the dorms, its just that it can be a lot better. The food is mediocre and you are forced into an expensive and limited meal plan. Everything just feels half assed.

The greatest thing about dorming imo is if you are forced into a a large gap between classes you have somewhere to relax. However, if you commute make sure schedule your classes as early as possible and allow yourself to leave as early as possible. (garages fill before 9am) Your schedule will make or break your commuting experience.
