Traer Dorm Reviews at Oglethorpe

Despite its 'ghetto' look, our residence hall is an experience. The inside is simultaneously the outside but it takes two minutes to get to most classes. It is loud at night despite the quiet hours and the walls are very thin.

As a college freshman, I found my dorm, Traer, to be among one of the best dormitories. It was very close to all my classes and it allowed me to be on time for all my classes. Aside from convenience, Traer gave me the opportunity to create new friends because of the common areas. I was able to meet with many of my study groups in the common area. I could also spend time with my friends.

Traer was a typical 2 person per room dorm and 4 sharing a bathroom. It was definitely an adjustment coming from a 2 person home to now a 4 person home. It was very convenient to where the classes where held and was also close to the dining hall. I liked Traer as a whole it gave like 2001 movie apartment vibes, it was pretty cool considering how old Oglethorpe is. Space in the common rooms were fair sizes and each floor held different events there, it was nice.

The walls are thin, so you hear everything. The maintenance never came on time, for example, my suitemates and I made a request in August, they didn't come until December. The water was sometimes brown, so we would literally bathe in brown water.
