Harrill Hall Dorm Reviews at Western Carolina

Harill is not the worst building at WCU but coming in as a freshmen and seeing what the newer dorms look like, the dorm is definitely a let down. The rooms are significantly smaller than those in the Rocks, the bathroom is mildewy and the door are both heavy and loud.

As a community-type dorm building, I was not expecting much; however, it was a bit disappointing. At one point I saw a cockroach in my room. Also, my doorknob doesn't lock and we had intruders try to break into rooms a couple months ago. It turned out to be boys from another building and I don't believe anything serious was done about it. The keycard entry is broken (and has been since before school began) so anyone can just walk in. Also, the bathrooms are disgusting. There is hair and used gum in the showers and the occasional feces or throw up left in toilets. There have also been several instances where there has been no hot water or the water has been brown and stained our clothes in the washers.

My experience at Harrill Hall at Western Carolina University was good considering everything that was happening at that time. Covid make college harder than it already was. Between all the safety precautions that got put into place and the online classes.
