Freeman Hall Dorm Reviews at Montclair State

Freeman Hall was a great place to dorm in and I believe anybody would like living there. It is a little far from most main buildings on campus, but everybody in Freeman knows each other because of this.

My experience at Freeman Hall was a pretty minimal experience. It is a pretty secluded dorming hall so it was away from all the noise and main campus hangouts. I really liked dorming there because it exposed me to many students with diverse areas of study and many musical and artistical talents. The staff were very conversational and ready to help with whatever issues the residents had.

I enjoyed my time at freeman hall, the people you are surrounded with tend to be art/music majors. There is always some instrument playing in the building but you can only hear it when you are in the hallway. The one annoying thing is though is that the new bell tower that they put on top of the college hall goes off every hour and half-hour, which can be quite annoying. While it is great having a dinning hall right next to the dorms the building is quite far from the center of campus. Meaning that in order to get to some classes you have to walk quite far to reach main buildings. The people who work there are super nice and always helpful if you need to know something or cant get into your room.

It started as a movie. I thought college was gonna be easy and the dorms were gonna look exactly how they do on tv, but I was wrong. At first, I wasn't the happiest with freeman but now I couldn't imaging living anywhere else.

I decided to live at Freeman Hall for it's location. It's the closest freshman living dorm to Life Hall where most of my classes are. Otherwise I am not very pleased with the dorm. There were no pictures on the Montclair Resident Life page about the dorm. I was originally assigned to a triple thinking it would have a lot of room. A triple in Freeman was just a double sized room with the triple furniture. I then moved into a double. I have lived here for a month and in that amount of time our toilet has flooded once, and our key lock box on the door has broken 3 times, locking us out of the room if my roommate and I were both out. It is also very noisy. Outside in the field there are always students outside yelling till 2 a.m., construction at College Hall, or yard work in the field outside of the building. The Freeman Dining Hall is also not impressive. The staff is unkind most of the time. I have walked into 3 unfriendly fights among the staff with foul language. They also do not offer much variation in the food options, and serve the same thing all day. On the weekends, they do not start serving food until 12 when they're one of the two places open for resident students.
