McKeon Hall Dorm Reviews at Fordham

McKeon is such a great dorm! I live in a triple with two other girls and we share a bathroom. The room is a little bit small but we make it work. The view is awesome and the location is absolutely awesome!

It is a once-in-a-lifetime view and experience. It is nice and new and safe. However, the dorms are really small and the walls are thin so it can get noisy. But if you have the opportunity to live in Mckeon, I would definitely say do it.

I really enjoyed living in McKeon my freshman year. I was in a triple dorm, which means I had my own bathroom as opposed to sharing with suitemates. My room faced downtown and the view was incredible. I had no issues living here other than keeping in mind the sun heating up the room during midday.

McKeon Hall is full of amazing views! It's a newer building, so the appliances are very nice and in great shape. I suggest if you have the ability to live in McKeon your first year, do so; you will not regret it at all. I enjoyed my time a lot and liked that when I looked outside my window Lincoln Center was right there, and across was Julliard. There are always things to do in the area, and plus the residence assistance are very considerate and set up fun activities for the students to enjoy.

The best part of McKeon hall is the beautiful view of Manhattan. The rooms are larger than normal college dorms, there is air-conditioning, and no communal bathrooms. Adjusting to McKeon Hall was very easy because it is so comfortable. The only issue with the dorm is elevator maintenance. There are only four elevators in the building, and with the pandemic, only four people are allowed to be in the elevators at a time. It is common for one or several of the elevators to not operate. It is also common for people to get stuck in the elevators, as well.

I love it. It is luxury compared to what I use to imagine my college dorm to be like. The building is very clean and well kept, especially during this pandemic. The layout and style is tasteful and convenient. Everyone working here is very nice. When I wake up, it doesn’t feel like some old and cramped dorm, despite being a relatively new building. I feel like it locks in the city experience, especially with the huge windows displaying the skyline.

McKeon Hall has been great so far, I love the simplicity of the dorm and the sense of community that I feel when I am there. For being a freshman I was so nervous but this dorm has made me feel so comfortable and really shaped my time at Fordham so far.

Even though the housing and location is amazing, there is a unsafe feeling because of coronavirus. We take coronavirus test every week and even then I still feel some people are not taking a seriously. The staff is nice but during this time they need to be careful and persistent in there testings.
