Lakeside Complex Reviews

I lived in Lakeside for my freshman year. I absolutely loved it! I liked having a private bedroom and only sharing a bathroom with one other person. Someone also comes and cleans it once a week which is super nice! Kitchen includes everything you need: stove, microwave, oven, sink with garbage disposal, refrigerator with freezer, and plenty of cabinet space. Common area had plenty of space as well. Bus takes you to campus in 5 minutes and you can walk to Southwest Rec in about 10 minutes. Walking path there is pretty well lit and safe to walk alone. Loved living here my first year!

Lakeside is the perfect combo of living in an apartment and still living on campus. Lakeside is very close to the nature trails, the larger on campus gym, and is still quiet and not in the hustle and bustle of main campus. Lakeside has MANY different buses and routes so it’s super easy and quick to get to classes and main campus with night time routes too. Walking is also an option (approx. 20 minutes to center of campus) if you enjoy walking like I do. Parking is usually not a problem unless it’s late in the evening as there’s two lots around lakeside. If those are full you can park at SW Rec and walk the 5 minutes which isn’t bad. Overall a great experience for my sophomore year and I will be staying at lakeside again for Jr year.

I have lived in lakeside for 3 years. The rooms are apartment style, meaning each apartment has four private bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a kitchen and common area.

The kitchen has a full sized fridge, microwave, stove, oven, sink, and garbage disposal. There are bar seats. There is a common room with a couch. Lakeside is really close to the largest gym on campus, but further from most classes than other dorms. However, there are two bus stops at lakeside, with buses running to the heart of campus about every 5-15 minutes (the bus ride ...See more
