Stanger Hall Dorm Reviews at Elmhurst

Stanger Hall is the only dorm on campus that provides quads. I was lucky enough to get a quad so I had a 4 person dorm. Elmhurst University does a poor job of providing and selecting care givers for the population that needs such care. I would encounter issues within Stanger Hall from this population. For example, I was able to hear a student masturbate in the restroom multiple days a week. Elmhurst housing, and student affairs was notified but I never saw any changes. Stanger does not have many noise blockers across the whole floor except for the door to your room. Some other dorms have doors that lead to an extended hallway within the floor. Each Stanger floor is one open hallway. This makes it easy to hear drunk students returning from bars or parties at night. The Stanger hall RAs to my experience had a perfect balance of being strict, ensuring safety, and allowing students to have fun and not worry about someone watching them at all times. Stanger Hall has a large athlete population. Stanger hall is usually very quiet throughout the morning/afternoon. The doubles in stanger are very reasonable compared to other dorms at Elmhurst. Stanger Hall and Cureton Hall are the only dorms available to underclassman that provides AC. The AC is a must during the early fall semester! Stanger Hall is also a very short walk from the chapel, and University mall (quad) but has the farthest walk to the school gym, P.E/Exercise Science, and theater building. Stanger hall is slightly more expensive compared to the dorms that do not provide AC. Stanger Hall or Cureton Hall are the best options for freshman. If you are a sophomore I recommend Stanger. If you are a junior or senior I recommend West Hall if available, or an apartment/house.

All dorms at Elmhurst are very clean and have a safe environment. I am about to stay there in the fall and I am super excited. The laundry and common areas are very nice as well. Bathrooms are kept clean.
