10 Worst Dorms in America

[Gusteau]

Yeah, my school (George Mason) has two dorms on the list. They're not really that bad, I mean it's college, were they expecting palaces? I lived in President's Park and loved it when I was a freshman, and they've been renovated since I lived there in '07-'08.

Like Dee said, it's basically just the reviews of a few people who didn't enjoy living there without hard evidence.

Stop trying to usurp my superiority of dream crusher.

Also, we only lived in dorms for one year prior to moving into on-campus apartments as upperclassmen (off-campus Junior or Senior year, if you wanted). I can't lie - the dorms were fine. I was right close to the bathroom and my room was big (and we kept it so clean we were a regular stop on campus tours - #winning?). My roommate only sucked about 10% of the time and I made lifelong friends. In our on-campus apartment, my roommates were messier and ate my food, but it was about the same quality as living in the dorms we just had a private bathroom, living room and kitchen.

I lived in the sorority house after, which was fun but noisy, and then in an off-campus apartment that was FREAKING HUGE. I mean, it was run-down, but I have yet to ever have a bedroom as large as the one in that apartment (for $350 a month per person - absolutely incredible). We had stalls and two toilets in the bathroom. Great for parties.

Have you been to JMU? I'm surprised Eagle hall ("the projects") didn't make the list. "Where the elevator works 60% of the time, every time."

I was there for 2 weeks in the summer of 2001. I didn't think the dorm itself was bad. It was nice and quiet and actually bigger than the dorms of similar nature at my school at the time (Western Michigan University). I actually liked the dorm, just didn't like the hike up the stairs to the Armstrong (the computer lab we were allowed to use)...I think that was the name of the building.
