College Prowler Take
Each hall has an RA whose two sole purposes in life are to answer any questions residents have, and to try to keep order in the building—neither being an easy task. Each hall has its own parties and socials every so often, and there is definitely a sense of community within every hall. And, get this—the bathrooms are usually very clean, except during football game weekends. One time, a bathroom in Creswell was shut down because it had become a biological hazard over one weekend, which is gross, but it was up and running by Monday. The maintenance staff in the dorms are very nice, as well. All the dorms now have air-conditioning. If you are lucky enough to have an individual unit in your room, like Creswell residents for example, count your blessings. The dorms with central air are usually on the warm side. You can open your windows, but this does not always help. The Myers, Rutherford, and Mary Lyndon quad is a very popular place to hang out and play ultimate Frisbee. Even before renovations, Myers was a very popular dorm. It is also close to Snelling, which is a big plus. If you live in an all-female dorm, especially Brumby, it can seem to be overrun with sorority girls at times. Many people complain that they feel like they are the only girls on campus who didn’t rush. The East Campus Village was designed to resemble apartments in an effort to keep students on campus. They offer 1,200 beds, and preference is given to students who have spent the most time in a dorm. Students Speak Out

I had so much fun living in the dorms. It was kind of terrifying at first, because there were people I didn’t know everywhere I looked. But my hall was awesome, and once we got to know each other, it was a lot of fun. There was always something crazy going on in someone’s room, kind of like having a big slumber party every night. |

The dorms are alright, but not that great. They’re pretty small, but you can make do. Russell, Creswell, and Brumby are the ones most freshmen live in, so any of those would be good for a new student. |

The dorms at UGA are definitely a good way to start off your college career. They are a great way to meet people, and they help you get used to your new college environment much easier. |

The dorms are decent, but the social life there is incredible, to say the least. For freshmen, I recommend Russell. It is a coed dorm that houses around 1,000 students. The rooms are small, but you can loft the beds and do other things to make more space. You will meet amazing people there, also. For all-female living, Brumby is located next to Russell and houses around 900 girls. The only dorm I would avoid is Creswell. It is older and just not as nice as the others. |

I’ll just give the basic gist of the dorms. Russell has 10 floors and is coed by hall, and there is always someone to party with. It’s a great place, in my opinion. Creswell has nine floors, and is coed by floor. It’s a little bit rundown, but still fun. Brumby has nine floors and is an all-girls dorm. I enjoy hanging out with guys a lot, so I wouldn’t want to live there, but some of my friends did, and they loved it. Mell Hall, Lipscomb Hall, Hill Hall, Church Hall and other places are smaller, usually comprised more of upperclassmen, and are a little more boring. I wouldn’t recommend living in any of those places if you don’t like a lot of quiet. My advice to you is that you choose Russell, Creswell, or Brumby, although the rooms are smaller. |
