When I first moved in the dorm room looked okay. Of course it wasn't new but it was better than the freshman buildings. Calaveras is an apartment building and was an older building so it did have its stains and dents. The walls were thin so we could hear the room next to us and above us which was annoying but it is a dorm building. I liked the closet space, it gave me enough space for my clothes and more. The kitchen appliances worked well. The couches and chairs were okay as much as dorm furniture can go. The noise level from your window depends on what room you were in. I was on the 2nd floor facing the street so the noise easily carried and it pretty noisy even with the window closed. The desks in this dorm building aren't like in the freshman building which I didn't like. The freshman ones are bigger with the top storage shelf and drawers.
Maintenance is pretty quick for things that are not urgent. If you have an emergency and it's night-time, prepare to make a lot of calls to the RA on duty or try to get their supervisor because if not nothing will be done and you and your roommates will have to figure it yourself.
