Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Dorms Are Great but Expensive

Freshmen dorms like Brumby and Creswell are small and usually $2,000 or more. I think the showers in Brumby where built for toddlers because no girl that lives there can take a shower while standing up straight. ECV (the upper classmen dorms) is even more expensive at $ 3,000 and up per semester. The apartment style rooms in ECV are the best on campus, though all you have is a fake kitchen with no oven so you have to go down stairs to the kitchen if you want to bake or cook something.

Good to Live on Campus!

Because UGA require all freshmen to live on campus, I needed to register for one. Fortunately, I got the best one (ECV) which was for upper classmen, but for others no. Thus, I believe I can compare good side and bad side of UGA housing. Living on campus is great except the fact it is expensive. Good side of UGA housing is safety and convenience. All dorms require incomers to scan the right hand and show the student ID. Also, dorms all have public or sometimes individual kitchen and living room and studetns can use these facilities anytime. Each hall there are RA (room assistance) and since they take care all stuff like social atmosphere, cleaning, and even birthday surprises it is really nice to stay on campus. However, for the bad part, the cost is high and for some buildings which are old, bugs crawling out sometimes.

Best Time of My Life

I loved living in the dorms at UGA. I lived in Mell Hall, which I highly recommend to everyone that reads this. Its a small dorm with 4 floors and no elevators which does suck, but you can control the AC and heat in your room, this is true for all the smaller dorms. its really close to north campus and the student learning center, and also right next to Bolton, a dining hall.
