Adams McCasland Dorm Reviews at University of Oklahoma

When I was living in the Adams McCasland tower it had many faulty fire alarms in the middle of the night. As it was the oldest tower on campus, it consequently had (what I assumed to be black) mold growing in the air vents that caused me to have many health problems related to my asthma. I had to call into work frequently, as I was sick every month with some sort of respiratory infection. Towards the end of my stay in the dorms (which was cut short due to COVID-19) my floor flooded, causing half of my floor to have to move to another dorm. There were about 4 of us, myself included, who did not have enough damage that was deemed to have us moved to a separate dorm tower (even though they really should have moved us out). I did enjoy my time in the dorms, but it definitely wasn’t because of the facility, it was because of the fellow friends that I lived with on the floor.

Average dorm experience. The building is old and the rooms are small. Good thing is the people here are great. We recently had flood on our floor that caused the pipes bursting, during a winter storm.

Adams tower is the oldest of the 3 towers on campus and it is pretty evident. The building was built during segregation, so the layout is less convenient more separated than the other towers. I have had to call maintenance, along with my roommate and suitemates, multiple times. Luckily, maintenance team responds quickly and are always eager to help. They are also extremely nice.

Though the building itself is old, the Adams tower is a good dorm to live in. It is quiet and maintenance comes quickly when they are needed. The only problem with it was the A/C system. When the weather changed, it took a couple of days for it to adjust.
