First Street Towers is a nearly brand new dormitory featuring only single rooms, which are quite spacious and modern. These rooms are ideal for students who value privacy, with each including an adjustable air conditioning unit and a private bathroom. Although the bathrooms are small, they are maintained clean by the friendly cleaning staff who visit once a week. The dorm is equipped with excellent amenities, such as study spaces, two small lounges with kitchen sinks, microwaves, and TVs on each floor, as well as free laundry facilities, including two washers and dryers per laundry room. However, there is only one kitchen for the entire building, which might be a limitation for those who frequently cook. The dorm is known for being quiet and lacking a sense of community, as interactions between residents seem minimal and events hosted by resident assistants often see low attendance. The most significant drawback is its location, with a 20-30 minute walk to academic buildings, but it's close to dining halls and the Aspire food court.

Purdue University is a public research university located in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States.

Purdue dorms come in a few different styles: from standard double rooms in a traditional residence hall, to suite and semi-suite rooms, to single rooms and apartments. Purdue offers a host of options and choosing an option is dependent on what you prioritize in your living space, whether that be location and convenience, communal space, parking, amenities and preferred number of roommates.
