Clara Dickson Hall Cornell Reviews

Fire alarm goes off every month. Shower is unclean and 5/6 in on my floor don’t have warm water. No overhead lighting in the rooms. Very thin walls. 16/20 washing machines and 8/20 dryers are out of order. I can disregard the fact that there is no AC, but it’s unbelievable that heating does not work... See more

I loved my room and made a lot of my friends in the dorm. My room was dirty when I moved-in, but I washed the walls and they were fine. I moved in with a lot of stuff (a car and a truck, for reference) but was able to easily organize all of it and still have enough room to have other people over. No... See more

Can be loud at times, but a talkative community. Living areas, bathrooms, and rooms are fine but feel old (Dickson is one of the older buildings)

Relatively clean, no bugs or anything in my experience. Bathroom quality depended on floormates; mine were relatively good so bathrooms were clean as well, although showers broke a couple times. Plenty of space in single and great for introverts or people who just want their own privacy some times. ... See more

Clara Dickson has a great location. It is literally the center of North campus. Bus stations are nearby and facilities are only a few minutes walk away. If there is anything bad with the location is that because it's in the middle, nothing is necessarily too close. Single rooms are nothing special a... See more

Very good location, easy to walk to the bus stops and central campus. The vibe was really strange though, no one in my hall knew one another and it was very quiet. I liked having my own space and a single though. Happened to meet my best friend here though, so wouldn't change a thing. The bathrooms ... See more

Unless you live on the second floor, you’ll need to bring your own lamp. The bathrooms do get pretty gross, but that also depends on who’s living on what floor. Other than that, it’s a pretty solid building

Looking back, Dickson was a great dorm! I did not request a single, but it ended up being a good experience. Because Dickson has a lot of singles, it's still easy to socialize. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and its in the center of north campus which is really convenient. The building is old an... See more
