James Hall Dorm Reviews at Ohio University

Because of Covid I couldn't make connections with other residents in James. Most of the residents were athletes so I had nothing in common with them. I am also a junior so I felt weird trying to befriend people who were freshmen and sophomores. When I did have a chance to talk to the residents, they were very nice but something felt off.

James Hall is an athletic dorm on the Ohio University campus. It is one of the older buildings on campus, but still provides you with a clean and safe place to live. The location is perfect, as it is close to the recreational center, dining hall, Baker center (academic help), Court Street (many food options), and the library. My experience living in this residence hall has been nothing short of excellent.

I enjoy being able to meet other athletes at Ohio University. I think that there was a very positive environment in James hall and found it to be very safe and in a great location to the athletic centers. I have lived there both my freshman and sophomore years of college at Ohio University and would gladly continue living there afterwards if upperclassmen lived in dorms. James is also in close proximity to the Boyd dining hall, which offered the healthier food in addition to having a new menu on a daily basis.
