Pearson Residence is a great place to live as a Freshman at UMiami. I would definitely recommend this residence hall over Hecht and Stamford. You get your own bathroom that you share with three other students with a shower, a toilet and two sinks. This makes it easy to make simple meals in your dorm as you have constant access to a sink.
I did have a few problems while living in Pearson. I had rodents in my room twice because of an unsealed vent. Maintenance did not help or solve the problem. The air filters in the rooms where filthy and not clean. Hallways were not cleaned regularly and in my experience, food, mice feces and hair were on the floor for days. I also had a problem with the laundry services at this residence hall. A lot of the dryers were prone to breaking and one of them ended up burning and ripping my clothes.
Honestly, I do not think living in Pearson was worth what I paid for the accommodation. I had good experiences and bad at this residence hall, but in my opinion, it is the best place to live as a Freshman at UMiami.
