The Academic and Residential Complex Dorm Reviews at UIC

My experience has been good so far the dorms are clean and it's an easy check in process the staff are friendly during this time. The only thing is there are some front desk workers who are rude but the academic side is also very nice to study in and so are the common spaces on the residential side.

The Academic and Residential Complex is one of the nicer dorms available here at UIC. There are multiple areas to study and a lounge to cook and hang out. The staff are amazing and very helpful. The front desk will help you in every way that they can.

It was great. People were kind and the common areas were cozy and nice to study in. I felt very safe living there especially since you had to check in every guest you brought in as well as check them out. It was very clean, all common areas including bathrooms. Maintenance was very fast.

My experience at ARC was quite good. There were some issues but that were sorted out by the administration. although, Staff members were extremely helpful. The building newly built and was having great facilities.

The ARC is probably the best that UIC has to offer when it comes to their dorms. The location is perfect and even has a Starbucks on the 1st floor. The internet speed is second to none and the staff is very helpful almost all the time. However, the bathrooms do get very dirty or run out of paper towels toward the end or even the middle of the week since the bathrooms are only cleaned once per week. Also, it is easy fo you to hear your neighbors and vice versa so having good neighbors is key to having a good experience here.

The location and rooms at the ARC were the best that UIC has to offer in terms of dorms however the bathrooms would only be cleaned once a week which meant that toward the end of the week the bathrooms were very dirty. Its also very easy to hear your neighbors and I happened to get very loud neighbors unfortunately that didn't stop even when I put in a complaint.
