Keller College Dorm Reviews at Stony Brook

I lived at Keller College during the pandemic so the cleanliness and quietness of the dorm was heavily skewed. That being said the people who work there are kind and the common areas are a nice way to study and not feel alone.

Keller College is located about 20 minutes away from most colleges (walking since most freshmen can not have a car). Everything has been surprisingly clean and well maintained. The bathrooms are the normal for freshmen at Stony Brook, with communal showers and a couple of toilet stalls.

Keller College was my home away from home. The location was relatively far from main campus but there were several buses that could get us there in no time. I met some of my lifelong friends at Keller and still keep in touch with them today. The building wasn't huge so it was easy for us to get to know people on our floors and on other floors. The bathroom situation was difficult at times sharing a bathroom with at least 8 other people gets a little annoying and means that the bathroom gets dirty really quickly, but it was cleaned every day, twice a day. Staff and RAs were fantastic, made the experience even more worthwhile.

Keller is a decent space for a first-year student. The temperature is moderate, people clean after themselves, and facilities like the kitchen and laundromat aren't crowded. As for bugs, you might see a couple of flies or other insects. My second week there was a huge spider on my wall, but that was about it. The rooms get unusually hot the second that fall comes so make sure you have a fan with you during the night.

Great people, but the building is super old and constantly has issues. Is one of the few buildings that has single rooms available. The bathrooms are okay, the cleaning staff cleans daily. The main issue is other people in the building not cleaning up after themselves.
