Garrigus Suites Reviews

Incredible cozy dorm with a five minute walk to the rec center or student union. Includes a small kitchen for anyone in the building to use, inbuilding laundry, same floor trash disposal, and private bathrooms per each 6 person suite. Only real complaints are bad positioning of the heating/fan leading to poor airflow and the fact that the rooms get a little cramped unless someone is willing to loft their bed. Putnam is an incredible dining hall, so you can't go wrong with your food here. Overall a fantastic dorm made even better if you can fill the room with few friends. Protip: if the showers start getting weirdly cold, call a work order.

Overall, I think Garrigus is great. The views are great, its close to the center of campus, and its right next to Putnam which is a pretty reliable dining hall. My only complaint has to do with the bathroom. I think having a private bathroom is good because it actually gives people incentive to keep it clean (unlike other dorms I lived in where the bathrooms were usually filthy). However, when having one bathroom shared with 6 people, there's gonna be times where you gotta use the bathroom and there's someone in there. Minor complaint, but I wish there was at least a common bathroom

Garrigus the best time ever. The 4th floor has amazing high ceilings and the location is the best.

Garrigus is an awesome place to live if you have close friends that you're living with. If you're coming from dorm life, it's a huge upgrade to have your own bathroom and sharing it with five other people isn't that bad. Garrigus wasn't the most social building, most people kept to themselves for the most part. There's a lot of different study lounges to use if your room is too loud, too. The biggest downside to Garrigus is living in a triple. I love both my roommates dearly, but sometimes I just wanted to have some alone time and not have to be social but it was hard to come by. But overall, I loved my time in Garrigus. It's the on-campus housing I'd choose to live in again. Though Busby is also nice and has a larger closet, I think Garrig... See more

Really good if you can get groups of 3 and 3 next to each other. Very good location for gym and center of campus classes. Newish building compares to others/ nicer hallways and lounge areas. Laundry room is tight but manageable if you time it right. Bathroom is shared between two suites but up to you to keep it clean.

Garrigus gave me a pretty great experience for many reasons. Despite it being on a hill, it's an easy walk down right to the center of campus for a late night run to the Union or a quick walk to the Rec Center. I lived on the top floor, which meant we had high ceilings. I definitely think this made the room feel a lot bigger, as the rooms on the lower floors had low ceilings and made the rooms seem smaller. A high ceiling goes a long way! There are lounges on every floor, as well as one giant one across from the main entrance that looks out over the Sherman Family Sports Complex. The best part of Garrigus was AIR CONDITIONING! It was the only dorm I lived in that offered it, and we ended up having friends come sleep on our floor during hott... See more
