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 k...
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 Cons- The facility feels really outdated and old.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...
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 especi...
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 A con is that the bathrooms seem outdated and the showers are gross.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 s...
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...
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. :(
The dorm is nothing special and compared to the other dorms offered on campus it is not the best. The worst part of West Lo is the bathrooms because they can get very dirty sometimes.
