Murdough Hall Dorm Reviews at Texas Tech

I had a pretty good experience in Murdough. My community advisor was amazing and made sure anything that happened was taken care of quickly. They also cleaned the bathrooms every day except the weekends and the majority of the time it was quiet in the halls.

I would say it was a great college experience. The location was by far one of the best out of all the dorms in my opinion. It was basically right in the middle of the campus. It also had a great food court that provided a wide variety of different foods and drinks.

I love dorm life here. Some of the residents can be too loud or disrespectful, but the staff is great and I love the food options we have here. Definitely in a prime location on campus too. Highly highly recommend.

My experience at Murdough is very well. The staff cleans everyday of every hour. trash is taken out daily, floors are moped and clean every morning. It was quiet, little to no noise. The location is in the middle of the campus so everything around is a 5 to 10 minute walk.

Overall, great experience! One of the nicer dorms. I would recommend staying there. It does get pretty noisy at times, but that happens in every dorm. They have the best food selection out of any dorm, so that is nice!

It was a memorable experience at Murdough because my roomie was an interesting and cool person so we did not really have any problems. The rest of the floor was also very helpful as sometimes I would get locked out of my room on accident. For example I had to shower and my next door roomie gave me a shirt to get a spare key.

Overall, Murdough is a nice dorm. It's in a really central location on campus, so getting to class is pretty easy. The rooms are pretty small, but no smaller than any of the other average dorms on campus. The bathrooms were renovated before 2015 (I believe), so they were pretty nice. They're communal though, so sometimes they were sort of messy. The dining hall downstairs is super great.

During my stay at Murdough, some of the students on the floor below mine made a Mentos launching device and accidently set of the sprinkler system for that floor. At the time, it was frustrating to be forced outside with an annoying fire alarm at one in the morning, but looking back, it was actually pretty funny. Murdough hall is centrally located at Texas Tech. Facilities such as the library, the park, or the rec center are all less than a ten minute walk away. The dining hall located in between Stangel and Murdough, "The Market", isn't bad either. The food is cheap and there's plenty of options if you have an alternative diet. The rooms we're somewhat small, but that's to be expected for a college dorm. They include a desk, a chest of drawers, and a closet alongside a twin sized bed. Overall Murdough is a solid choice for housing at Texas Tech.

My roommate and I had friendly neighbors but we would constantly hear barking or smell nicotine from the vents which was very annoying. We were also put on the bottom floor so at night we could hear people running up and down the hall or listen to people sneaking around in the middle of the night. Despite this the faculties were nice and it was very close to other places around campus like the gym, garden, and the free speech.

It was the best dorm placement for me as it was the closest dorm to the animal science building however if I was better informed about the bus's I would have chose a different dorm. There is very little room and I had to switch rooms twice from roommates. The bathrooms were also horrible and I would often find myself going to a friends to shower. The best part about Murdough was the on campus dining as a freshman, all you had to do was walk down the stairs and you had easy access to the market which was very nice.

Murdough was great because various learning communities live here. If you are an ag student, it's in a convenient location. There are community bathrooms which are clean, but still a downside. I felt safe coming and going from Murdough and met some great friends.

Murdough is in the perfect location for all my classes! The staff is super sweet and very helpful! Although at night time some people can be a little loud but nothing a fan can't tune out. The RA's are also very helpful and are there for the students.

I have found Murdough hall a great place for first year living the place is clean and neat along with the dining hall attached to it makes it also have great food. The staff is very friendly along with the people you meet makes for this to be a great place to stay at Texas Tech University.
