Lived in McMahon both freshman and sophomore year. Freshman year in a standard sized double and sophomore year in the corner rooms. I’d highly suggest trying to snag a corner room if you can as the huge space is definitely worth it. The pros of Mcm are its location, dining hall, laundry, and mailroom within the building, as well as multiple lounges available for studying and an elevator lounge on each floor. The cons of Mcm would definitely be the standard sized rooms, and the bathrooms depending on the floor you live on. The shower stalls are a bit of a plus as there’s a separate changing area, but it can get a little gross of your floor mates are not as clean.

Pros: -Awesome location, within minutes of academic buildings like McHugh and Oak, as well as directly next to bookstore, Gampel, Student Union, and the library -Dining hall within the building, that also serves late night, and South dining hall nearby -Large communal areas like individual floor lounges, silent study lounge, Global lounge, and game room -Elevator -Doors on the shower stalls Cons: -Laundry room (south side) sucks. Dirty, more than one machine always broken, stolen clothes, etc -Small rooms, but not smaller than most alternatives -Dining hall is not very good (imo) -Building is aged and it shows in interior and in things semi-frequently breaking -No A/C
It was a pretty good dorm. Super close to the gym & two great dining halls (South & McMahon).
Rooms are pretty small but the location is great. Having a dining hall and laundry rooms in the same the same building are also great benefits to McMahon. No kitchen or air conditioning though. Can get pretty hot.
Best dorm location in the university, but dining hall is okay and there is late night. Dorms are okay but small.
