Dorm life is not bad, but not great either. It's hit or miss regarding how much your dorm forms a community and some rooms are set up poorly, such as a big room and a small room, which can create conflict with potential roommates. It's not cramped and the heat works, but it can become stuffy do to only on vent in the entire dorm and it's in the bathroom.

There is something new in the cafeterias everyday and offer dessert and 6 different main food option in addition to fruit, salad, and self-made sandwiches.
