University of Delaware Dorm Reviews

🧐 What do students think about the dorms at Delaware?

James Smith Hall

8 Reviews

All staff is extremely nice and we have events (sips) all the time! Highly enjoyable here if you're frequently involved. Only issue is how far it is from central campus; bus is always available during the weekdays, but the weekends you have to basically walk everywhere. more

George Read Hall

7 Reviews

George Read is a very interesting experience, as a freshman I am constantly shocked by the behavior other undergrad students display at George Read. The majority of students are messy, loud, and rude at times but you all become a community. Despite the differences in character, since almost all the students in George Read are freshmen you create this community of people who are all there for each other. If you are going to the dorm at George Read next year I would recommend finding roommates and suitemates who have similar interests to you. That way you can have some friends to start the year off with. more

Redding

6 Reviews

I was able to have friends over when I wanted and I was rarely kept up by any kind of noise. All staff and neighbors were kind and helpful. The room mate process was very easy. The bathrooms were always kept clean. I never felt scared or unsafe while at Redding. more

Thomas McKean Hall

6 Reviews

I loved living at Thomas Mckean Hall. The staff was always helpful and the common areas were always well kept. The safety was rated low because there was an issue where there were not many security cameras outside the hall and random people who were unhoused would come and sleep in the lounges. The location of the hall in relation to classes was quite far, one of the furthest dorms on campus. If you don't mind a nice walk, this is the dorm for you! more

Harrington Hall D

4 Reviews

Fun, great community, easy to make friends. Bathrooms were usually messy. No air conditioning was the worst part. Although location wise it is in one of the best spots on campus. Very easy access to almost everything. more

Louis L. Redding Hall

4 Reviews

I enjoyed my time in Redding. I found a great community of friends to spend time with and hang out with in the lounge. We played board games and had movie nights every week. The dorm itself was clean and well-designed. The rooms have AC which was also really nice. As for the location, it's right in the heart of East Campus where most freshman housing is, so it lends itself to making friends easily. more

Russell

3 Reviews

So far I have had a great experience here at Russel E! although it is not the cleanest or the nicest, I have made some great memories that I would not change for anything! It is definitely an experience here, and I believe that it is something that everyone should experience in order to grow. more

South Academy Hall

3 Reviews

South Academy is a top resident hall at UD. It is modern and has great dorms. The staff are also great and provide for a great living environment, making us feel like a community rather than just people living in a building. This is great for incoming freshman to meet people. The hall is massive with 4 storie. I lived on the first floor, which was great. People on the 4th however... Anyways, there are working elevators that are clean and everything is always kept clean: floors, bathrooms, hallways, study rooms, etc. more

Eliphalet Gilbert Hall

3 Reviews

My experience at Gilbert Hall was a very different but very interesting moment. I stayed there during my freshman year in a triple room. I was there first because I participated in the marching band, and then on the last day of band camp is when my two roommates arrived. Because there were three of us in one room, it was very crowded for me. I have respect for my roommates and their spaces, but it was always best when I had the room to myself for a while. The RAs and other staff were very polite and very active. They had many different activities and events happening in the main lounge on the first floor. Also, throughout the day (or night), you can hear a lot of bumping and shouting from the other students playing around through the halls, which can make it hard to sleep or concentrate on homework sometimes. But overall, it's something that you would expect when you stay in a building with lots of other people. It was scary at first because I'm not used to sharing my room. But after a few months of getting used to the way things go, it became easier for me to adjust to. more

Courtyards

2 Reviews

I lived in a 4 bedroom 4 bath, so I had my own bathroom that I had to maintain. There was a problem with the shower when I first got there that I needed maintainace to fix. It took them a while to come fix it but once they actually came to look at it, they fixed it right away. The common area (kitchen, living, dinning) was pretty dirty when I first moved in but after cleaning it, the area was very nice more

Harrington Hall A

2 Reviews

Harrington Hall A is a decent hall, especially for a freshman. It's a little far from the cafeteria, but there a convenience store nearby. Overall, the hall is decent, the staff is nice, it just takes a while to get to places. Not sure about having a room though, that's a hard thing to imagine. more

Independence Hall West

2 Reviews

With controversy, I loved living on North Campus! Indy West was honestly so nice. I lived in a single suite, so I did have my own room and then shared a bathroom with my suitemate. It was air-conditioned and the bathrooms were good! more

West Tower

2 Reviews

My dorm room on the eight floor is just a little too far from my classes and as a result I have to walk far in some very cold days to get to the buildings in which my classes are being held. It can get very cold in Ithaca. more

Independence Hall East

2 Reviews

Pretty cool since we only had suitemates instead of full on roommates due to COVID. It was almost as if we had a mini apartment to ourselves. It was also cool for me because I requested to room with my friend who is also a freshman and whom I've known for 7 years, so this was a pretty comfortable experience. more

Independence East

2 Reviews

It was a pleasant experience to stay at Independence East. The bathrooms in the room were nice, although the shower did not have a shelf to hold anything which was annoying. The gym on the first floor was very convenient. The beds were comfortable. more

Smyth Hall

1 Review

Very outdated and had cockroaches. It was a great location however, the inside of the building is disgusting. No AC and it is so hot in there. No AC in the lounge areas which is needed and something that should be added. more

Harrington Hall B

1 Review

The building is nice in regards to the “pod” (I.e. shopping center) that is located outside of the lounge. However the niceness is quickly overridden by the lack of air conditioning provided for every dorm room more

Squire Hall

1 Review

It was a good first year experience, there was an occasional roach or two roaming around the halls which was disgusting but we had A.C. which is major at UD. Overall, I made very good connections and the location right on the green was extremely ideal. more

Caesar Rodney Hall

1 Review

The hall is relatively quiet and well-maintained, I think it is one of the best halls on campus but I do think the bathrooms can get quite dirty after a bit which is not necessarily the staff's fault but the nature of them being used by multiple college students a day. more

Independence West

I have had some people making loud noises now and then in independence. Still, overall the dorm is excellent to live in, and the bathrooms are fully equipped for someone to be able to take a shower or relieve themselves effectively. more
