Ondine Dorm Reviews at PSU

I was a resident my first year of college. I wasn't a fan of the carepeting or the sizes of rooms but my overall experience was positive and I felt included in the space. RAs were kind and helpful but left you alone if you didn't cause any trouble.

It seems to be a very outdated building concept, with harmful materials in the paint on the walls, the water, and in the kitchenettes (Which freshman do not get access to). The noise level at night is atrociously high, but personally it's not much a problem to me. The rate per term is also higher than it would be to live in an apartment on campus, which I will be doing next year. All in all, it was fine for a freshman experience, but I will not be coming back in the future.

Students often leave their laundry in the machines for over 30 minutes after the cycle has finished. Dining is on the first floor of the building and Everyone has their own private bathroom. There are kitchens on floors 8-15 where continuing and transfer students live while freshmen live on floors 3-7.

Really good dorm if your looking for a more affordable option with amazing views and great location! Walking distance from downtown Portland and other amazing parks around the area. Overall, if you are looking for an affordable option that comes with a kitchenette, this place will be the best option.

Ondine is in a very convenient location in the middle of Downtown Portland. With many restaurants, coffee shops, food trucks, and shopping near by it’s convenient for students. On the other hand the dorm bathrooms could be cleaner or could use an update.

I lived there for three months. It was a good experience, it is clean and has good environment for college students. I would recommend it to all Portland State University students. I hope that you will find the same experience I had.
