The best dorm are hands down the yakʔitʸutʸu dorms. It is very modern and very nice. The bathrooms, kitchen, and study rooms are cleaned daily. It is not far away from the dining hall and when the weather is nice outside people tend to come out and hang out on the fields in front of the dorms. There is also a beach volleyball court outside also. Across the Elewexe building, there is a community building that is open 24/7 for students to study, hang out or watch movies.

The best dorms on campus are probably the yakʔitʸutʸu dorms. Built in 2017, these are by far the nicest dorms on campus with their modern furnishings and common rooms. There are various study rooms on each floor with cubicles, as well as TV's in the common rooms that you can plug into to watch shows with floor-mates. There is a full-size kitchen with an oven, stove, microwave, and refrigerator on the first floor, as well as 4 washers and dryers per building. It is also very close to the front of campus, so going to see shows at the Performing Arts Center is a 5 minute walk, and getting to the University Union takes no more than 10 minutes. The rooms themselves come in triples or quads, and are decently sized.
