Best California State University, Fullerton dorms

Living in the dorms is very convient for me as I live far from school, I also enjoy the community aspect here. I have a lot of friends that live in the dorm, and for living in a commuter school, it helped me to meet many people. - 1 year ago

Pros: The exterior makes everything look nice and sort of modernized because they are relatively new. The water pressure for the toilets is very strong, and the AC was always blasting (could be a con bec it was always really cold in there). The ceilings in the dorm rooms are very high, so it doesn’t feel as claustrophobic. The wall color on the right side of the building (where I lived) is beige, so it provided a comforting space. The left side of the building is bright orange ish red…
I liked the three tall windows that provided a lot of natural light to come in.

Cons: Elm is SO far from class, especially if you’re a business student. The AC was occasionally broken, and you cannot control the temperature level; it’s either on or off. The bathrooms are communal with the entire floor, and it was easy to get sick if anyone on the floor was sick. The doors are heavy and they all require your TitanCard, so do not forget it or you’ll be locked out.

Side notes: The bed is okay, but I would recommend a mattress topper. I would also recommend getting the fridge & microwave because the Gastronome closes early and there are not many food options nearby. - 9 days ago

So just to start, all of the Freshman dorms at Fullerton are essentially the same. Each building has the same model and the only differences among dorms I can remember is carpet color.. FIG is cool, I believe there is only one themed floor in the building (honors students). It's basically right in the middle of the Freshman dorms on the walking strip. Each floor of every dorm has its own personality. Some floors are pretty hectic with lots of activity and others are more chill. Also, as I mentioned earlier, some floors in the buildings are themed for specific programs students are involved with. I think ELM has a floor for the TV/Film design students and they typically create a haunted maze for Halloween which is pretty cool. If you are an incoming Freshman, make a concentrated effort to get to know the people on campus and living in the dorms because it will seriously make all the difference in your first year experience. Just make sure you don't set off the fire alarm, because they will evacuate the entire building and everyone will be pissed. Good luck! - 4 years ago

Pros: The rooms are big, big closet, has everything you need already in it (bed, desk, shelves, drawers, desk lamp light, and also the window opens). It is also close to the dinning hall, and I dont need to walk far for laundry because the laundry room is actually in Juniper. The mailroom/housing office is also close in the next dorm building over. The dumpers for also right outside of the building like 30 feet away, so you dont need to walk far to throw out your dorm trash.

Cons: the bathrooms are small, no windows, and pretty gross(they barely clean them, and not even everyday like they said). Theres not as much natural light in the dorm as I would personally prefer. The common rooms are not as clean as I would love. The elevators are slow and always feel like they are about to break(so get use to taking the stairs). - 2 years ago

Definitely a nice area to live, parking is awful but the building is relatively new so it's not terrible. The cafeteria was gross when I was there but that's expected. They have a little communal market which is nice for snacks and a late night market with fresh food and drinks. Bathroom showers are pretty standard, gross but as clean as they can be. The doors are all gated and opened by key card, you may get locked out often but is safe. Always take your key card to the bathroom! - 4 years ago
