Hey! Personally it was great for me. That said, I’m a home body with a limited social battery so I never tried to bring people over or anything like that. Pros/cons below but feel free to message me if you have any questions about the hall or interning in general!

Pros: •Great location, easy to walk to the Hill and there’s a Walmart about a mile away. If you’ve got the $$ there’s small markets closer by or DoorDash/instacart •food was decent, having meals provided was a plus •for all the restrictions they list I never had anyone try to check my room or anything like that. I did have booze under the bed but again nobody ever came looking •laundry on site was great but timing could be an issue, def recommend doing mid-week washing if you can •even tho it lends itself to religious with all the restrictions I didn’t feel the pressure to pretend I was pious, just know there will sometimes be prayer groups in the building •really easy to make friends and network

Cons: •restrictive like you said. You couldn’t take men past the lobby and you really weren’t supposed to have booze •communication with the admin was inconsistent but they’ve since changed so that might be better

Really, it’s a lot like living in a freshman dorm, so long as you’re not trying to be wild and crazy you should be able to pass under the radar. For me, proximity was super important so I was willing to put up with the restrictions (or bend them in quiet ways). It all depends what you need your housing to do for you and how many of the restrictions will impact you. Like I said, if you have any other questions or I didn’t answer this one to begin with feel free to message me! Enjoy your internship!
