Coblentz Memorial Hall Dorm Reviews at Hood

The freshman dorms at Hood are very outdated. They are working on renovating all of these halls at the moment, however, my experience at Coblentz Hall was not the best. Firstly, my roommate and I were placed in a single room that was converted to a double on the fourth floor. It was quite literally like living in a closet. We eventually got placed in a normal sized room on the second floor. This room was a lot nicer with higher ceilings, bigger closets, and a bigger window. Although the carpet was severely stained, there were bugs that would fall from the ceiling, we could hear everything above us, and the pipes would make very loud sounds. The laundry room in Coblentz needs attention, as it smells of mold and there is rust at the bottom of every machine. The bathroom was decent on our floor, but communal bathrooms will obviously be gross at times. Besides the negatives, the location of Coblentz is the best on campus. It is right in front of the field and athletic center, and the dining hall is located on the first floor.

I love it there it is easily the best hall for freshmen to live in. Everyone is so kind and caring, especially the staff they wait until you are finished in the bathroom to clean. It truly is one big happy family.
