Colonial Quad Dorm Reviews at UAlbany

There was a lot of issues in terms of like leaks and lack of heat. The tiles in the dorm were awful and picked up dirt/mud very easily but was extremely hard to clean. The heat was either blasting to the point where you're uncomfortable or you're freezing. Besides that it had really good space.

Even though it was during Covid, the dorm experience at Colonial did was still worthwhile. The dorm is close enough to the main campus so nothing it too far away and it has its own gym not even a minute away from any of the halls and everything is kept clean.

Was relatively ok but overall won't recommend going to Dutch or Indian if you can. Quiet but too far from the cc when you are lazy and want food. Had a nice spot to go to the bus stop but everything else wasn't worth it.

When I first arrived at my college, I was terrified that I wouldn’t find anyone that I could hang out with because I knew absolutely no one. I was surprised, therefore, at how quickly I became part of a close-knit group of friends, almost all of whom live in my dorm.

While things are not as they should be due to the pandemic, the experience here has been nice overall. Having your own bathroom and gym are nice to have and we're not far from campus. I wish that the dining hall for us was open so I wouldn't need to walk 10 minutes to go get food but it is what it is and the food has been good regardless.

Colonial quad is a very quiet quad. It has a beneficial location of being next to the bus stop, however its pretty far from the campus center, which is where students get their food from. The rooms themselves aren't too spacious, but they are good enough for a small group of people.
