I used the shared room, mistake because my "roomies" were inconsiderate. Phones alarms going off over and over again, coughing, etc. But the environment overall is good, I would come back to a private room (^_^)

Greatest dorms I have ever shared and that have bathrooms worthy for a movie from the 1950’s. Coffee bar downstairs is truly a good place to wake up before walking outside in downtown. People stayed there and everyone was having fun indoors. 3 pizza shops nearby. Fun fun fun!
