Rubin for sure

Everyone is trash talking Weinstein but Third North literally has mice. Like its a known thing amongst professors and students.

Weinstein is probably the ugliest dorm I'm not gonna lie and the rooms are not well sized considering the price, but they do have two dining halls and a market which is nice. Rubin is notorious for no AC, but I've heard good things because of the community.

Lafayette or maybe third north. Lafayette is so far and the area is not the best. Third north is just old and dirty.

In my opinion, it might be Weinstein. I have three friends who were assigned to a triple room even though they selected a double room. The bathroom space is extremely small, and you might even bump into yourself while washing your hair. If you have bad luck, you might be assigned to the 2n floor, which might not even have been a dorm before. You would have to walk from a corner staircase to your "room," which has a tiny window with no sunlight. Three people are cramped in a small space, and students on the 2nd floor can only use the second-floor public bathroom (which makes your room even smaller), even though you pay the same fee as students on other floors.
