This building is visibly falling apart. The basement is hazardous. It is clearly very aged, the walls have been painted over and the floors are very scratched up. Living in a lower cost triple with roommates who are anything less than spotless and your best friends is miserable. It will be nice post...
Rubin Hall is basically not livable during the summer due to its nature of not having any air conditionings. The building itself is overly aged and thus the elevators are excessively slow and everything is just old.
I loved living in Rubin Hall freshman year! It has a great location and was only about a 5 min walk to the closest dining halls, and about a 5-7 min walk from all of my classes. I lived in a double and the room was super spacious. The lack of AC was really not a problem except for a handful of hot d...
I absolutely loved Rubin. The dorm used to be a hotel so the rooms have super high ceilings and feel much more like an apartment than a sterile dorm room. It made the whole place so much more homey and great to come back to.

Not the best building/rooms, but definitely the best community. The lounge is lit, I met all my close friends there.
LOVED LOVED LOVED RUBIN. People love to sh*t on it but they just mad Rubinches are gonna have less student loans when they graduate. Honestly though, the no A/C thing sucked for about a week and then it was chill. I think they're fixing that next year so you probably won't have to worry about it. Th...
