east lothian! its cozier than dundee and i would say it is a much more homier feeling than dundee. dundee has the vibe of a hotel and it doesnt have as much room as east lo does.

I'd say Lothian (East specifically) and Dundee are the top two dorms for freshman at UCR. They're great options since they're next to their respective dining halls. They are also relatively nicer than the other dorms too.

There are 4 dorms that are available to freshmen: Aberdeen-Inverness (AI), Dundee, Pentland Hills, and Lothian (East and West). Lothian and AI are your typical dorms, Pentland is a suite-style, and Dundee is similar to a hotel. Dundee and Lothian have their own dining halls which is a plus. Glen Mor and North District are popular on-campus apartment options for second-years and up. Falkirk, The Plaza, and Bannockburn are relatively inexpensive apartments but do not come with furniture. Stonehaven is a gated community.
