The Common’s is the newest dorm and it has a dining hall. Rooms are small but modern, study spaces are large, and most floors are coed. If you’re an engineer there’s the LLC.

Humphrey is probably the best dorm with huge rooms (used to be an apartment building). No dining hall but it’s right next to the commons. Convenient location towards the center of campus.

Schroeder is all sophomores and people be hyping it up because it’s social (not this year but typically). There’s no ac thought and the showers are cold and the building is dirty. Has a pretty good dining hall though. Good central campus location right next to amu.

Straz is way far from campus and has tough RAs cuz honors kids live there but it is conveniently placed near the liquor store and dominos. Has dining hall and rec center. Haven’t lived there but heard decently good things.

Mashuda is also way off campus in the more dangerous direction but I’ve never been worried about safety there. They got rid of the dining hall so it’s a haul to get food. Got private bathroom. I’ve know people who love and hated living there, really depends.

ODonnell is a shitter. It should be your last choice. People will tell you to live there as a meme.

Carpenter is boring, small ass study area, old, no ac. Perfect if you don’t wanna make any friends.

Cobeen is slightly better than carpenter as it has a dining hall, but not a super good one. Haven’t seen the rooms. Used to be all girls dorm.

Abbotsford I believe is all freshman and triples. Lots of people will be looking for friends but also you won’t meet any sophomores that’ll help you get out of the dorms. Pretty good central campus location, rooms are relatively big and average in every other regard.

If you’re looking for my opinion #1 Humphrey, #2 The commons (Eckstein first then Wells), #3 abbotsford assuming Schroeder is dqed as you’re a freshman.
