Chatham University
- Off-Campus Housing

Apartments

All I know about them is that they mostly have three to an apartment and they have kitchen and one bathroom. Dining rooms.

Lots of Options

To live off-campus, you have to rent your own apartment, but their are lots of areas close to campus that you could live in. Squirrel Hill and Shadyside are both pretty safe nice areas, and are close to school.

Woodland and Fickes Residence Halls

NOTE: I am only reviewing Woodland and Fickes because those are the only dorms I have lived in.

All dorms now feature free cable and ethernet. Getting things fixed in any dorm is a pain; it can take several weeks for things to get done, if they get done at all. When I lived in Woodland last year, I had a severe ant infestation that started in April and never got taken care of. The washers and dryers are often broken, leading to my friends and I occasionally doing our laundry off-campus.

NOTE: Chatham dorms receive a B+ because our campus is very beautiful, and our dorms are much better looking that some of those at other local schools

WOODLAND - Location is great, right next to Café Rachel and near most class buildings; renovated hospital, and often feels like it; can feel impersonal and lonely at times; male grad students live on the fourth floor; handicap-accessible

FICKES - Largest dorm on campus, houses about 150+; very beautiful renovated mansion with several common areas; features a few mini-apartments; only one washer and one dryer per floor, when there should be at least two, if not three to four washers and dryers per floor, given the large number of residents; no elevator
