Moses Hall Dorm Reviews at Texas A&M

I was put into Moses hall bc I had applied pretty late for housing at TAMU but it was arguably the best decision for me! Although I was not very happy about the community style restrooms it was the easiest and most convenient choice. I did not have to worry about coordinating shower times or restroom times with anyone else. Did not have to worry about bringing hand soap or toilet paper. I could come and go at my convivence, my other friends who shared restrooms with other dorms would have issues in terms of who brought toilet paper and hand soap, who was messy and why the shower was stocked, and most importantly would become late bc sometimes their suitemates forgot to unlock the door and even sometimes male guests would become and issue. I cannot advocate for community style restrooms enough, TAMU had them cleaned 2x a day and they were never busy bc they're 2 in each hallway and require card access so only females in the hall can access them. In college its all about convenience and this restroom style made my life sooo much easier I could not be more happy. The room themselves have a sink counter so we could have the privacy of brushing out teeth inside and both had our own spacey closet. The room size was pretty small but we kept it tidy and ultimately that lead to me and roommate developing a great relationship bc we didn't have to argue about being messy. Being in college you send close to zero time in your dorm you are always studying or out with friends so you really just come in to nap between classes and sleep. Not only is it one of the most affordable dorm on campus but the location is great! It is located right in front of hullaballoo so you can use their amenities, the Starbucks is right in front of the dorm and the dining hall is right across the parking lot. They do a study lounge and study room which I did use but with all the study locations on campus you'll be opting to go else where, but for late nights or when u just want to leave ur dorm is perfect! Not only that but it is also located right in front of Northgate so on a night out there is no need to uber or to take a long walk back to your dorm in the dark after a night out. If you are looking for an affordable and convenient dorm on campus I HIGHLY recommend this dorm. Do keep in mind it is one of the least popular (due to community style restroom) but northside is so popular so this is the last to fill on northside. I could not say enough nice things about this dorm, convenience and affordable are the most important things in college and this dorm checks off both! I wouldn't overthink my dorm choice as a student I can testify you don't spend much time there and its ends up being a good thing bc spending more time out of your dorm just means more people you meet and more relationships and friends you make! I really cant say I had a bad experience or anything I particularly didn't like, come to college with an open mind it truly is what you make of it and the convince of Moses hall added GREATLY to having a successful first year. Getting into a popular dorm shouldn't be your point of interest, or seem to "ruin" your first year, in the long run your friendships and involvements make your experience. So put yourself out there and remember everyone is on the same boat as in new to town and looking to make friends!

This dorm is pretty much your typical first year living as a student on campus. The staff and everyone in the building are nice and helpful, however we also keep to ourselves. Most people do not interact with others, which is why the building is usually quiet. There are community bathrooms, which are very clean and maintained by the staff multiple times throughout the week. I rarely see the bathrooms that busy at one time, however you need your card to access the bathrooms. The rooms are a lot smaller than I imagined, however I am thankful each room has its own sink and closet as they are both very useful. You can adjust the bunk beds to either be lower to the ground or at its highest point where you can have your desk underneath. The walls are VERY THIN so you can hear a lot from either side and above you as well. It is close to an on campus starbucks, the Sbisa dining hall, and other useful locations. I do like this dorm, but compared to others I would maybe tour others just in case you want your privacy.

Moses provided an economical option which I greatly appreciated. I made a lot of friends through the activity nights held by RA's so it was a great way to start off college. As a woman, I felt a lot safer with the girls part of the dorm being on the second floor as well.
