Madrigrano Family Residence Hall Dorm Reviews at Carthage

Many rooms have severe window leaks that are ignored, told was our fault, or we were told would be fixed and never were. There were several instances of people trying to break into my room and/or trashing my door decs. The lakeside rooms had a really nice view of the lake sunrise, but also had the most popular volleyball court directly outside and would be very noisy at night frequently. The rooms get very hot in hot weather, so a fan is definitely a must, and there may be days where it gets very very cold but not cold enough for long enough for maintenance to turn on the heat in fall/winter, or hot enough for long enough for them to turn off the heat in spring. Furthest traditional dorm hall from the academic buildings, but with it being connected to tower and johnson it is pretty convenient with bad weather especially going to the caf. It is also directly across from the student union for events or the other food options/red zone. If you're going for Madrigrano, I would recommend the upper floors, as many people use the first floor as an inside path between other buildings and it can get quite loud especially at night when there are parties.

Overall it is a lot better than some of the other residence halls at Carthage. Sometimes it would get very loud at night and the bathrooms would be a mess but overall I enjoyed living there. I think it’s a good choice for freshmen who must live in freshmen dorms.

Madrigrano Family residence is a family's environment. Very close to the people you live around but even for that being said. You do have peace a quiet and it was pretty clean for the most part. Having someone every morning cleaning up the bathrooms they were on top of it.

Madrigrano Hall showcases the simple traditional-style dorm rooms. The halls were relatively quiet and Resident Assistants were quick to answer any complaints. The rooms are a decent size for two people but they can get crowded easily if there is no organization. There are minimum outlets so utilizing extension cords was vital. There was a high security presence and they would walk through the halls to ensure a safe environment. Overall, Madrigrano Hall exemplified the basic college dorm lifestyle.

Madrigrano is a great place to make friends with all different ages of students. It is also connected to The Tower and Johnson Hall which is nice in the winter when your friends live there. It is close to both the Student Union and The Cafeteria (Caf).

The view me and my roommate have is very nice with the lake view. The dorm room itself is like any other dorm room. It was tough during those hot days in August without AC but with the window open and fan going its not bad

My first semester living in the Madrigrano residence hall has been good so far. The college is very conscious of everything happening and there is a good amount of security which I am appreciative of. There is a beautiful view of the lake which is always a plus.

Madrigrano was a one-of-a-kind experience. Since it was my first time sleeping in a college dorm, I was looking forward to living on my own for once. However, some neighbors were noisy, the bathrooms were a little messy, and the appliances were a little old. The community, however, was very nice. It made me feel like I was at home.
