College Prowler Take
Everybody has their likes and dislikes about the dorms. Make sure you take a virtual tour before you decide on which dorm will suit you best. Take into consideration more than just price, since placement on campus, date of completion, and layout are important, too. All of the dorms that I’ve been in are small. I think Maricopa Hall might escape that tag, but dorm life is still dorm life. I was lucky nough to avoid the “bad roommate stigma” throughout college—when I hear crazy stories about insane roommates, I laugh really loud and hold my belly. Security is pretty tight at dorm halls—even I’ve never been able to sneak inside. Febreeze would be an ideal chemical solution to keep handy. For some reason, things start to smell inside residence halls. I think it begins in a room and then creeps out into the hallways like those green vapors in old cartoons. The rank odor of mildew and dirty underwear wafting through the maze-like halls makes me feel claustrophobic and unclean, so I try to steer clear of the dorms now. Some people like the closeness and the smells, though. Most dorm people I’ve met have funny stories to tell and have a lot of friends, both of which they amassed by living in the dorms. If I can say one good thing about the dorms on this campus, it’s that it helps people meet other people. For those looking for a somewhat cramped college experience, a UA dorm is ideal.

Some dorms are good, and some...
Some dorms are good, and some suck. The good ones are La Paz, Posada de San Pedro, and most of the new ones on Highland. Arizona/Sonora is nice; it is huge like Coronado, another mediocre dorm. The supposedly haunted one is Hopi because someone was killed there. Kaibab is the one I lived in, and it looks like a priso,n but with the right decorating it is kind of cozy. There are many other dorms, but I haven't seen them all.

Most of the dorms are nice. Babcock Inn and the other apartment dorms are shady, though.

Coronado is pretty much all freshmen, and it’s pretty social—it’s loud. I didn’t have a hard time studying, but others have. I liked living in it because it was all first-year students. The other dorm that’s popular is Colonia De La Paz. La Paz is really nice! It’s new and pretty spacious, and it’s in a great location. However, it’s not all freshmen, and the bathrooms are community-style. |

I like my dorm, Manzanita Mohave. La Paz is nice, and I think that Graham Greenly is nice. Maricopa is nice. They are all pretty nice, actually, with the exception of Babcock Inn. It’s okay, though. It depends on personal preference. Check out Arizona’s Web site, it has pictures of everything. |

Avoid at all costs Coronado, a.k.a. ‘Scoronado.’ Most of the dorms aren’t bad. It’s an experience you should go through to get the full college experience. And it’s where you’ll make your first good friends. |
