Court-Kay-Bauer Hall Cornell Reviews

CKB is a beautiful dorm and in a great location. Other than Balch it is the closest to central campus. Every floor on a building has 30 students including an RA. This is split into six “pods” which is a set of three rooms centered around a shared bathroom. Each pod has two doubles and a single and t... See more

CKB is by far the best dorm of North Campus. Nicely air conditioned rooms and clean bathrooms only shared with four other people. RAs for the most part left students alone, allowing for hangouts in lounges and in rooms late into the night. Lounges and common areas are spacious and are usually qui... See more

Definitely nice having a newer room that has less wear and tear. “Pod” layout is nice. Having AC is nice, especially when it gets ... See more

CKB is one of the nicest and newest freshman dorms, along with Mews. It has air conditioning, which most dorms don’t and is usually clean. My floor had 2 lounges, which helped everyone on the floor know each other. The kitchen is small and honestly not that nice, but it is there. The sky bridge is c... See more
