Elsey Hall Dorm Reviews at Franklin

Overall Elsey Hall is one of if not the best place to live on campus. However, there are still things I dislike. For starters everyone outside of campus who has come to visit has described our dorms as "prison like". Only one of the locks on the shower doors works, and only three of the five showers I will use. The shower heads often have too low pressure or take forever to heat up. This dorm does have the most washer and dryers on campus, though.

Nice common area for everyone to hang out and you can always make a new friend! I love having a space where everyone is included and else’s is safe for my door to stay open where all people are welcome to say hi.

It's a mostly underclassmen dorm. I was on the third floor. Because of the age of the systems and our location, we are currently struggling with very hot and cold dorms as the weather cycles and the building cannot turn on the AC without risking damaging it. Our window does not close easily and when we talked to a maintenance person, he laughed and effectively told us to just try harder. However, the other staff are kind and it has an elevator.

Nice Building and grounds.Nice Laundry Room, machines always available. Nice little Common kitchen area. I like that it's across the street from the cafeteria and the bookstore and the library. Not crazy about the showers, but fine.
