Couch Tower Dorm Reviews at University of Oklahoma

I lived in the dorms during my freshman year at OU in 2018-2019. Couch Tower was the best tower to live in in my opinion, however the elevators were always out of order or malfunctioning while in order. The staff, resident directors, and students were always respectful. Couch Express was the highlight of living in Couch because it was open until midnight with the best grilled-cheese, but COVID closed them down and I don't think they reopened. It's a nice location, but takes a long time to get from Couch Tower to the Noval if you're running late and parking is never fun.

Some rooms are much bigger mine is one of the smallest and I do not like that at all and I do not think that it is fair. Especially since the doom rooms are all the same price in Couch. I really feel like I got cheated.

I’ve honestly loved couch and the friendships I’ve gained through living there. Couch is older but I would definitely recommend it to any incoming freshman students. Couch is one of the older dorms but they do a very good job keeping it clean and in good condition.

The dorms were not very clean, spacious, or well-maintained. I had to call maintenance at least one or two times a month to fix my toilet. However, I did enjoy the community of Couch Towers and how close it was to campus.

My experience at Couch Tower was one to remember. I had a great experience living there and made many lifelong friends and memories. My favorite part about the dorm was easily Couch Express and the grilled cheese sandwiches and cookies.

It is an overall average dormitory. However, what makes it great is its location. There is a parking lot right outside the tower for students with cars and the couch cafeteria is right next to it as well. Additionally, the package lockers are in the storm shelter as well as a computer lab so you don't have to go far to pick up a package or print something.

It's honestly way better than I had expected, it's super quiet, always clean, I've never had any problems. The bathrooms are good, small sinks. The dorm is located next to Couch Restuarants, perfect place to eat, and a short walk to Haystack, my favorite cafe. It is also across the street from the gym. Kind of a long walk to classes but its long for every dorm tower.

I love the dorm experience- I just wish I did not have to share a tiny bathroom with three other people! It gets really gross in there super quickly. The noise level is not really an issue, but there is the occasional rowdy person in the hallway. Overall, I would probably recommend Couch.

Couch Tower was probably the best dormitory of the ones available however the staff was quite rude or inebriated in some way most of the time. Maintenance was okay but overall I wish that it would be renovated as the bathroom facilities and common areas are dated.

Couch is the best of the three towers by far!! I had a great experience. Objectively the dorms are all a little gross, but Couch wasn't bad at all. The rooms are small and we had some mold issues, but not as bad as the other towers. I loved living so close to my friends on the hall, and we had Couch Express (BEST grilled cheese) and were closest to the Caf, which was a bonus. Liked the suite-style bathrooms rather than down the hall.

It’s a very nice tower to live in. I often find myself missing it when I’m at home or away from it. The only issues I have are the smell of the hallways sometimes. The reason why the hallways smell is because of the trash room.

It was an experience for sure living there. It's like living in a shoebox of a room but you meet many people there that you will make endless memories with your peers. Also, it was right next to the cafeteria.

Overall, Couch Tower at the University of Oklahoma is average. I believe the whole experience depends on your floor mates and your RA. Personally, I have rowdy floor mates so that affects my sleep and academics within zooms.

There are not enough washers and dryers for 800 plus students to all be able to do laundry at an efficient time, and not any mats close enough unless you drive. Very dull and lifeless. RA doesn't hold much of an authority role.
