Harrison Hall, a residence hall at Purdue University, offers a generally positive living experience with a few caveats. The rooms are comfortably sized, with large walk-in closets and private bathrooms that residents appreciate, especially when toilets and showers are conveniently in the same stall. The air conditioning is effective, adding to the comfort of the rooms. Common areas, found in the basement and main floor, include study spots, board games, pool, and ping pong tables, although some students find them underwhelming. Dining is convenient with the popular Harrison Grill located in the main lobby. One downside is the location, which requires a 15-20 minute walk to central campus areas, though bus stops nearby offer relief. Issues with lighting, window quality, and water pressure are noted, along with laundry challenges due to limited facilities. Overall, while Harrison may not stand out for its convenience, it fosters a peaceful environment, making it a solid choice for freshmen.

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.
