New South is widely regarded as one of the best freshman dorms on campus, lauded for its prime location next to the HFSC, library, and dining hall. Students appreciate the consistently hot water and the unique convenience of having sinks in their spacious rooms. The building is known for fostering a strong community and offering impressive views. However, it’s not without its drawbacks. The dorm's age shows through issues like mold, pests, and questionable cleanliness, particularly in the communal bathrooms, often described as being less than pleasant. Despite these challenges, many find redeeming qualities in New South, such as the modern updates, laundry facilities on every floor, and the RHO underneath. While response times to maintenance requests can be slow, proactive measures make the experience manageable. Students choose this dorm for its comfort, convenience, and strong community bonds. Adapting to the dorm's quirks can lead to a fulfilling freshman year experience.
