Mosaic Village Dorm Reviews at JCSU

I love living in Mosaic Village or, "The Mo" as my fellow golden bulls and I call it, for many reasons. The most relevant reason I enjoy my dormitory hall is that it provides us with the most privacy and space compared to all the other dormitory halls on campus. Just like with anything, there is still room for improvement. The cleanliness of the dormitory could use more attention from residents, staff, and faculty members. As much as residents pay for room and board, appliances such as vending machines, elevators, and ID card readers should ALWAYS be operating correctly. Common areas such as social lounges are always closed on every floor, excluding the first. I feel that students would be able to connect more naturally and effectively had we been granted all social lounges on all floors. This would allow students to have the college experience still, meeting new people in their social lounges during downtime, with the option of privacy in their designated suites altogether.

Mosaic village is a nice place to stay if you were looking to get away from the typical dorm life. It is more of an apartment-style living, so it gives you more freedom to have your own space as well as great views of uptown Charlotte. I would say my biggest concern with the dorm is the maintenance of the appliances within the suites. Although the dorm itself is fairly new, the standard appliances do not hold up well. I hope this is something that can be resolved for new students in the near future.
