Denton Hall Dorm Reviews at University of Maryland

Denton hall was very suitable for a freshman or transfer students first dorm room. For anyone who has already had a dorm room and wants something more I would not advise it for them. The bathrooms were nice but the showers are a bit small and tight spaced. My experience was a 7/10 for my first dorm hall and was just enough for me to experience what I wanted and did not want going into my Sophmore, Junior, and Senior year. Goodluck and Enjoy!!

Denton is a nice, clean air conditioned hall with nice common areas directly across from a dining hall. That's better than can be said for many of the better positioned dorms. The gym isn't too far and packages get delivered nearby as well.

The noise levels depend on your RA and other floor residents. The rooms are not bad at all, it was quite spacey compared to other dorm halls. The bathrooms were clean except on weekends. Overall, a great dorm hall option especially for upperclassmen because it's quiet.

Denton Hall is a very middle of the road dorm at the University of Maryland, located in the farthest dorm community in North Campus. Unlike some dorms, the hall is air conditioned, has a nice basement study area, and has a dining hall steps away. You could ask for better, but you could also ask for worse

Denton Hall, though not the best location due to its distance from most science buildings I see it as a pretty good location for a dorm hall. Given that most of Ellicott Community halls are without air conditioning, unlike the Denton Community, you have to see that for a dorm hall this location is pretty good. Floor level and your neighbors will contribute to how noisy the dorm is though the loudest it'll typically be is when there are big sports games, due to the locations closeness to the stadium, though this is the case for most nearby dorm halls. This dorm hall has one of the nicer common areas in their basement that I have seen in comparison to other dorm halls. Additionally, there are a good amount of single dorm rooms in this hall.

The only big downside to Denton is its position on Campus. It's no short walk from Denton to a majority of classes and the bus system the school provides often doesn't match your schedule. Other than that, the rooms are a decent size and the community is nice.

My experience at Denton Hall was the standard dorm experience. Denton Hall was pretty quiet and I did not have issues finding a quiet place to study during finals week. The basement of Denton Hall was crowded often times when I wanted a quiet place to do my work. It was easy moving in and out of Denton Hall when I had to during my sophomore year.

My experience has been pleasant considering that we are in a pandemic. There are many rules and restrictions in place that limit our interactions with each other due to COVID-19 but I feel safe and there are common areas where we can meet others.

Please thoroughly review your living circumstances when attending college. Dorm life may not be for everyone and the dorms can be a petri dish for viruses and illnesses. Due to COVID 19, it's uncertain whether dormitories will re-open for a long time.

Denton was okay, I lived in a forced triple on the other side of campus to the buildings. It was pretty safe and I felt very comfortable there, but the bathrooms were so dirty and I always felt as if I wasn’t getting fully cleaned.
