4 /5 Crystal Hong: Overall an average place, the staff and place isnt bad it really just depends on whos living there/the students. The community bathroom shared about 12 people, trash is taken out almost everyday, maintenance is timely most of the time but cant help you perfectly for some situations. Due to students not being able to cook though, often the fire alarm is triggered easily. Most needs are in walking distance, and theyre okay despite being repetitive after a while of eating it. Parking is free for students staying on campus, you need a parking pass though. They hold events in the dorms from time to time too. Each section of Ellicott has a lounge of sorts on the second floor where they hold events, you can study/hangout. From experience I personally recommend Wilkeson freshman year, Fargo sophomore year for best financial benefits/worth. If youre living in these dorms and have no car I would recommend a meal plan, and when you can switch to dining points for best financial benefits. Overall not a bad place to get to know new people, and live. After the first two years I would recommend living off campus though, or even after freshman year if you have a car.
