Elam Hall Dorm Reviews at Lipscomb

I have looked forward to dorm life for years and Elam lives up to it. Even though the shower stalls flood with water, the bathrooms are new and very nice. The community is so wonderful. There are hall events and dorm events to further form a community. I love my dorm

Elam Hall is a great dorm to get to know people during your freshman year. It is a community-style dorm, but the bathrooms are very nice. I met a lot of great people there, and the RAs are great! It can be loud, but that just depends on who your neighbors are.

Elam Hall is perfect to start out, they have pancake tuesdays and a bunch of other activities to ensure that you are always plugged in and a part of the schools everyday life. I love the fact that there is a sink in the rooms because even though you have a community bathroom, the sink was the most important part to me. Overall it was a great first dorm.

Over the summer of 2020, Lipscomb invested quite a bit of money to upgrade Elam Hall. With this came new bathrooms, updated common areas, replaced carpet, and new painting. These changes definitely gave the old hall an updated feel! However, there were still some issues that repeatedly came up while I lived in Elam. For instance, the plumbing is rather outdated and we often lost hot water on one or more floors. I also once had my sink expel debris in my room without warning do to build up from previous residents. Furthermore, the sizing of each room is different. While some rooms were up to 12x14, others were as small as 10x11. This often left girls feeling cheated and made for rather cramped living spaces at times. Yet despite the structure of the building having some major downsides, the community more than makes up for it. The RHD and each of the RAs provide a wonderful and engaging living experience! Hall, floor, and dorm-wide events were hosted often to give girls the opportunity to meet new people and have a fun time. Additionally, I always felt safe within my dorm. I often left my door unlocked, as did many of my friends and hall-mates, and did not once experience a breaking in or theft. Overall, I loved my time at Elam Hall and am sad to see it go - quirks and all.

Elam is an all girls, freshman dorm. My experience living there has been amazing so far, the RAs are super nice and helpful. The building itself is very clean and it is very safe. There are many events held such as Pancake nights, worship in the courtyard, and RA dates. The only downsides are the curfew and the small size of the dorms.

Elam was a good dormitory. it was cozy, clean. It looks better now that they have renovated it. I had soo much with my friends, although it had minor issues now it has an elevator and other improvements
