Glenn McConnell Hall Dorm Reviews at C of C

This is my first experience living in a dorm. Overall it has been a pleasant experience. Very safe, quiet, and clean. The only concern I would mention is the bathroom in our room. There has been a continuous leak in the shower stall and we have had to place towels on floor to prevent water from spreading. Maintenance has come but leak continues. Mold has now begun around stall.

Glenn McConnell Hall offers rooms with 8 people. The rooms are very spacious, along with having 2 bathrooms, a refrigerator, sink, and couch included in the room. It’s a great way to meet friends. The RA’s are very nice and helpful.

McConnell was great because it was newly renovated, however the maintenance staff fell short as they never responded to work orders and rarely ever cleaned the hallways and common areas. The location was a bit far from campus.

Overall, security and the cleanliness/quality of the living space were my two biggest problems. On multiple accounts a drunken ex-boyfriend attempted to break into our room, threatening 8 girls and nothing came of it. Security at the front desk is fairly strict, having to check in an out and well as show ID every time a nonresident enters the building. This man snuck in and went right by the front desk. He was asked to stop and when he ignored the request it was left at that. Additionally, the dorm itself is not in the best condition. The rooms are very small and the bathrooms are very uncleanly. There was black mold growing on the shower curtains and the toilet constantly had problems.

Although Glenn McConnell hall is an older residence building, I would definitely recommend it for incoming freshmen! It has always been nice and quiet and the staff is very friendly and if maintenance is needed they take action quickly.

When I lived there it was the all girl dorm, so it was quiet but stayed very clean. There are suites of 4-8 people and you only share a bathroom with them. The common areas weren’t used very often. Overall it was pretty good as far as dorms go.
