Eliphalet Gilbert Hall Dorm Reviews at Delaware

My experience at Gilbert Hall was a very different but very interesting moment. I stayed there during my freshman year in a triple room. I was there first because I participated in the marching band, and then on the last day of band camp is when my two roommates arrived. Because there were three of us in one room, it was very crowded for me. I have respect for my roommates and their spaces, but it was always best when I had the room to myself for a while. The RAs and other staff were very polite and very active. They had many different activities and events happening in the main lounge on the first floor. Also, throughout the day (or night), you can hear a lot of bumping and shouting from the other students playing around through the halls, which can make it hard to sleep or concentrate on homework sometimes. But overall, it's something that you would expect when you stay in a building with lots of other people. It was scary at first because I'm not used to sharing my room. But after a few months of getting used to the way things go, it became easier for me to adjust to.

I loved the people in this dorm. I met my best friends and my boyfriend here. However, the RAs were not as welcoming. Some of them were rude and power hungry. The rooms itself were fine but just a little bit small considering it was three people per room.

It was a great experience! The room was nice and spacious and the common rooms/study rooms were great to have. The elevator was always fast and clean. The bathrooms were communal but they were usually clean and I never had any issues.
