Copeland Living Center Dorm Reviews at GVSU

I love the location, near all of my classes, only about a 8 minutes walk which is nice. However the no air conditioning is tough on hotter days, but it's only as bad as you make it. I found that if I'm going to be hot be hot for a reason, do something that would make you hot.

Non-coed dorms were co-ed by the end of the first month. Men used the women's restrooms and vise versa. If a neighbor or roommate threatened you, they would have you die before evicting the one making the threats. People faked emergencies weekly, so no one could tell when help was actually needed. RA's scold the people calling in complaints rather than the ones causing issues, even after the fifth person has called. To my knowledge, every living center at GVSU is this way.

The rooms were very small if you had to share. The bathrooms were nice but were not cleaned on the weekends. It was very cold in the rooms during the winter and the thermostat in the rooms didn't work.

Copeland was a great experience to get to know people! Since we all shared bathrooms and had tiny rooms, we often left our doors open to mingle with others in the hall! It was kind of difficult to only have a microwave in the room to cook with, but there was a small kitchen on the ground floor for all students to use!
