Bancroft Hall Dorm Reviews at Becker

All students at USNA reside in Bancroft. Yet there is no toxic dorm culture seen across the nation at your average college. Although our lifestyle is different, we have opportunities to create helpful communities within the rigorous lifestyle of a midshipmen.

As the biggest study body in one dorm, there are the perks and downsides. Perks being how big community is within campus and everyone is always ready to help a classmate in need one door away. The downside is how busy it can get during school hours or cleanliness in bathrooms since they are shared. Otherwise, it is a safe environment for any student in all years.

It isn't much, but it is all we know. Its small and cramped at times but that's all part of the appeal. You are within walking distance of all of your friends. You even have a shower in your room. It seems like it hasn't been updated in 20 or so years but we will call it rustic

Very dirty, it is over a hundred years old. Rats/mice/ roaches. Lots of leaks. The walls are very thin so the noice is very loud. It not too bad but it’s not the best. I wouldn’t recommend attending the naval academy solely off the dorms

Bancroft Hall is a 4000-man housing facility located on the grounds of USNA. It is of beautiful historical significance, and offers some facilities. While it is not optional to live here, it is what you make of it. There a friendly staff, and kind faces that help out around the hall. I hope that others will find their stay as satisfying as I do.
