If you're not in the closets, Cary is great! The suite-style rooms are much bigger than my room in McCutcheon and having a semi-private bathroom is handy. Location is great, right next to academic campus and not too far of a walk from most big spots, besides other dorms. I love the atmosphere here t...
Pros: - Very close to academic campus, only rival to closeness is probably Hawkins Hall. - Cary NW, NE, East, and West have renovated rooms, with decently sized rooms, modern bathrooms, and easy to use air-conditioning and heating. - Ford Dining Court directly across the street towards the Purdue w...
Decent place to live after Wiley my freshman year. Although unless your top priority is the location get an off campus apartment and take the bus for the price the singles are.
Cary Quad was an amazing place to live. Granted- I lived in the suites (Cary has south, and the suites which are known as "outers") Outers include West, NorthWest, NorthEast, and East.

We have a decent view from our room along with a working heater that can be adjusted. The lack of AC m...
Fun place to live, but the rooms are very small and the doors are always slamming. Great memories though. Iconic dorm to live in.
Cary is very large and has many different types of rooms, most people tend to live in the tiny rooms like I did. Even though it was small, I still enjoyed it and met many of my friends through Cary.
Cary South rooms are very small, but you learn to enjoy living in Cary. It has a great community.
