De Neve Plaza Reviews

Can’t go wrong with a De Neve Plaza. I have lived in Dogwood for 2 years and it has been great. My only complaint is the elevator is pretty janky.

I lived in a dorm with a private bathroom so that was really convenient.
The one thing I didn’t like was that there isn’t a water station at every floor. I had to go down to the lobby just to get water.
Positive thing is dining hall and the social aspect of it. It’s super convenient to live close to campus and be able to attend events either on the hill or on campus. Also easy to meet up with friends.

Overall solid dorm that is very close to campus. The room is a bit small, but the private bathroom definitely makes up for it. This dorm is not very social compared to other dorms on campus, but instead is very peaceful and quiet. It also isn’t as modern as other dorms but those dorms are further from campus. The only main con that De Neve Plaza has is it has a musty smell/feeling. Other than that I would definitely recommend living in De Neve Plaza if you want to have a solid quiet space to yourself and don’t want to have a communal bathroom.

I had a plaza triple with private bathroom at De Neve. The closet space and room size was extremely small for 3 people. This could be improved. However, the bathroom was really nice. Although the door handle on the bathroom was hard to use.

Lived in Dogwood with two other roommates and I thought it was pretty nice. We had our own bathroom which was great, and it was actually pretty spacious considering how small the room seems. The closets were also pretty large. Only problem is that we were lacking sunlight with where our room was situated, and the laundry situation was always really annoying because some machines weren’t great and there’s only a few to accommodate for the whole building. There are lounges on every floor which are really nice to work / hang out in, and De Neve is the closest to campus so it’s very convenient. Overall, I really enjoyed living here.

Loved living at De Neve. Super close to campus but be careful about living at Birch/Acacia, the fire alarm is super sensitive and will go off multiple times throughout the quarter. Private bath was really nice to have as well!

It is nice having a private bath and a triple, but the washing machines definitely need some renovation. The water fountain is also inconvenient to get as it is only on the bottom floor.

Cons: The building is very old, so it's not the most pleasing site or smell. The plaza triples are nice because you get your own bathroom but on the other hand it severely lacks socialization- dorms with communal bathrooms are the best for that and I ended up getting adopted as an honorary floor member at dykstra to have that type of friend group. I don't know if this last one should be a con but it's very close to de never dining hall, which means you will constantly eat there and it gets depressing. Food gets better the higher you go up the Hill.
Pros: I cannot stress this enough because this was the best part of it: It's the closest (alongside dykstra) to campus. You will be able to roll out of bed and go to class (in 10 minutes if you ...See more

The bathrooms were huge which was nice and we definitely had enough room in the room itself and then the closets (we had 3 surf boards and all of our stuff in the room comfortably). The study rooms were always clean and nice and our floor had a TV. The worst thing about Evergreen was the tiny hot laundry room that only had 4 washers and 4 driers (if they were all working) and the driers either melted my clothes or didn't dry them. Also the AC didn't work in the first 3 weeks or last 3 weeks of school which were the only times that we ever needed the AC (towards summer). Overall good dorms that were very comfortable but not the most social

Lived in De Neve Plaza Fir, close to the dining hall and classes, but buildings are older and elevators are slow. I lived in a private so there wasn’t much floor interaction and it was nice and quiet.
