West Lothian Reviews

the bathroom is an insult to human decency. i’d rather shit in a hole and bathe in a river. please don’t go here.

There is a lot of storage space under the beds and the closets are spacious. The beds are quite high so just beware of that.

PRO: There is a dinning hall! There is Starbucks nearby! There are piano rooms! There are meditation rooms! There is a courtyard! Clean bathrooms!

CON: Thin walls. Thin doors. You cannot control the thermostat but I feel the RA keep it at a good temperature.

Expect thin doors. No key fobs, only keys. If you live far from the floor the Wi-Fi will probably suck.

Although I like living here. There is a bed, desk, fridge, and microwave.

Pros- Everyone is very social. It's really easy to make friends here.
Cons- The facility feels really outdated and old. There's no adjustable heating/AC which is really inconvenient.

Pros: easy to get to know other students, several places to rest in (study room, lounge, terrace on each floor), convenient location for dining hall and orbach library, meets basic necessities
Cons: communal bathrooms can be dirty if living with students who do not take after themselves, some rooms have slight leaks, very hill-y when leaving and entering, some washing machines may not work from time to time

Pros: Easy walk to campus (speed walking I got to the middle of campus in 5 mins), dining hall and Starbucks are very close
Cons: Building is a bit older: you don't get to control the ac, giant water bubbles in the wall when it rains , the laundry room was in the basement and was a bit creepy especially bc it didn't have the best lighting

One of the pros of living in West Lothian is that it is right next to Starbucks which allows me to get my daily coffee intake. The dorms are also kind of spacious. A con is that the bathrooms seem outdated and the showers are gross.

Pros: Starbucks and the convenience store are really close. The Lothian building also has its own cafeteria. Plus, you will mostly likely meet lots of lively people.
Cons: The building is old, I remember having lots of rain leaks in my dorm, but I think they already solved the issue. Though, stuff similar to this is prone to happen.

As much hate as it gets, I don’t think West-Lo is as bad as everyone makes it. The bathrooms are not always the cleanest but that’s the fault of an individuals. It sucks you can’t change the temperature but it is what it is. It’s the closet to campus though which is nice but the farthest from things like Glasgow.

The pros of West-Lo: they have a dining hall downstairs, a nearby Starbucks, and Glen Mor market. The cons: it is far from the campus and It is smaller compared to East-Lo. :(
