Benton Hall Dorm Reviews at Western Carolina

I lived in Benton on on the second floor my first year as a freshman. The building is a co-ed female male dorm, however the genders are specified to their own floors, with the arrangment alternating each year. When I attended girls stayed on the second and fourth floor, while the guys stayed on the first and the third. My room had a great view of the outside space that I called the "backyard", and it made me feel as if we were part of a secluded place. It wasn't to far away from Norton and it was located in the middle where my classes were located. It is a little far of a walk from the main cafeteria so on cold days I would normally take the cat Tran. Me and my roommate were allowed to change our room around multiple times without being told we couldn't and it was fairly quiet through the halls especially at night. My specific dorm room was actually haunted according to the staff members at Benton, which made my visit very interesting. Benton is a good dorm for a first year student, or for anyone looking for a smaller dorm to socialize and study in.

I had a very nice experience in Benton. There was not too many people to where it was crowded but there were a good amount of people that make the dorm very warm and feel like home. The location is in a perfect spot on campus, it's not directly in the middle of campus but it is right across the street from one of the dining halls. I feel like I got the true "dorm life" experience in benton which I wouldn't change for anything.

Benton Hall is really chill. You can easily hear noises in the halls so when people run you can hear it. The bathrooms are not the best but they do the job. I wish the showers had rails to put my little basket of shower items. This dorm is the cheapest so I understand.
