Southern Courtyard Dorm Reviews at Georgia Southern

I absolutely love it here, the RA is absolutely amazing. It was very clean when I first moved in and I love the location. The parking lot is clean and I never have trouble finding parking. The walk to campus is about 15-20 minutes depending on traffic and time of day.

Overall southern courtyard is a bang for your buck in my opinion. It may not be right in the center of campus like centennial, but it's not far as it is like a 10-15 minute walk away from everything (which is basically how long it takes to get from place to place on campus anyway) Also, if you walk to Cambridge apartments there is bus stop where you can catch the bus. I would say that it's like a 5-7 minute walk from courtyard to Cambridge as they are diagonally across the street from each other. Southern courtyard also comes with full kitchen a has some pretty spacious rooms. So again it's like Centennial but cheaper. Another thing is the staff that look over each floor, some of them are strict while other are more chill/ lenient. The one we had was chill and prepared a lot of gifts/activities for us.

The only problem I had with Southern Courtyard was hoe far it is from the center of campus. It isn't a big deal though with the bus stop across the street! They were also not the cleanest when my roommates and I moved in.

First week me and my roommates were transferred to another dorm because of a leak two floors above us. Then when the problem was fixed (in the middle of the school week) we were given 24 hours to move back into the dorm (Southern Courtyard) and with no help. The RA we had did not once check on the dorm for inspections. But we had a great experience and it was a great space to live in starting out at GSU.

Southern courtyard is known for its mold problems. We have to get our room checked often for mold spores. Our friends across the hall had to move out because they had mold growing and it made them sick. We have heard gunshots on multiple occasions.

I enjoy living in southern courtyard. What really caught my eye was the separate bedrooms and full-sized beds. The only issue I have Is having to share a bathroom but that issue can be resolved if you get along with your roommate.

When I lived at Southern Courtyard my freshman year it was a great place to experience college for the first time. The dorm is farther from campus from other dorms, but it makes up for that by having a lot of space in the dorms. I lived in the 2 person suite and we had all of our own amenities such as washer and dryer and our own bathroom.

Overall, Southern Courtyard is a good place to live. It's pretty quiet unless you have loud people living above you. The apartments are pretty spacious and clean. They include your own laundry room, closet space is great, & the beds are full size. The only thing I absolutely hate are the huge roaches that crawl around outside and find their way into your apartment.

I would say the my roommates and I's dorm was dirty and outdated when we arrived. The laundry room is good but the washer isn't good enough to dissolve tide pods and the dryer likes to tear holes in clothes every few times. The carpets have not ever been clean or replaced and due to this if you wear white socks, they will get dirty and grossly it won't come out unless you bleach them.

My experience at Southern Courtyard has been great. It is so nice compared to many other dorm options. I have loved it here and would recommend it to any friend. I think the RAs were great and the lawn and building are always kept up.

Living at Southern Courtyard has been such a great experience. From the exterior environment to my bedroom, I have yet to be disappointed. The outside areas are always kept up very nice, the common areas are clean and our advisor is very easy to contact. In my dorm, all of the furniture looked as if it were brand new, the pictures they show you online were spot on and the space available is so nice. I would definitely recommend living in Southern Courtyard!

So far, I've had a decent experience. It is pretty clean and spacious and everything functions. However, the beds are very loud and seem pretty old. We have had a few problems with bugs and our washing machine. Overall 3.5/5
