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!
