Creswell Hall Dorm Reviews at UGA

Creswell Hall - it's old - it's small - it's tired looking - but it is my home away from home, and I have made some really great friends here that I will have with me for the rest of my time at UGA!! Great location and part of the high-rise community, which is great to live in as a first-year student at UGA!

It was fun. It was a great party and was worth the stay. It's not the cleanest place tho. It builds Character and was a great place to start getting to know people as freshmen. In addition, it is walking distance from downtown, making it safe after being drunk in Athens.

Creswell is a social dorm, but not suitable for luxury living conditions. If you want adequate bathrooms look elsewhere. They are a communal set up and are old with no renovation plans in site. However, the rooms have good closet space.

While it isn't updated like the other dorms, the culture and location make up for the general "crustiness" as everyone calls it. If I had to choose again, I would still choose creswell because it is the best location of all the high rises.

Creswell isn't the best place to live on campus, but it isn't completely unbearable. I live on the 8th floor with a pretty cool view of the stadium. It's the oldest of the three high rises, but I think we have a closer, more fun community and the environment in Creswell, so it kind of makes up for the dinginess.

Elevators are a common gripe, as they as small and not the fastest. At its busiest, it may be better to take the stairs. The bathrooms are fine, though the showers do have pretty low pressure. The A/C and heat aren't tied together. The A/C is pretty straight-forward, has a thermostat and 3 fans settings, and you know it when you see it. But the heat is controlled by on dial on a vent between desks. It doesn't have well defined settings. Sometimes depending on where you put it, it will turn on intermittently and sometimes it will just stay on. If the latter is the case you may wake up sweating. Other than that, if you looking for a lowkey hall and you don't need/want the most modern feel. It most certainly gets the job done. But if you want bells and whistles, look elsewhere.

Creswell is a very fun and social place to live! In my personal opinion, something about Creswell makes it much easier to connect with people on the hall. Maybe being able to bond over how crusty the place is really brings people together! It definitely does not hold a candle to the condition of the newly-redone high rises, such as Russell Hall and Brumby Hall, but living there builds character for sure! The setup of the rooms is much more ideal than the other dorms. Creswell provides slightly bigger rooms and a lot of ideal storage that the other high rises do not. However, Creswell is lacking common areas and study rooms, which has to be the biggest downside of the dorm, aside from the dusty AC units. Overall, I give Creswell a pretty good review!

Freshman dorms built probably in the 1960s so don't expect much. No sink in the room, communal bathrooms that can have some unpleasant surprises on Saturday or Sunday mornings if you end up with hallmates that overindulge at the nearby Greek houses. Cement walls can carry sounds, so if your neighbors blast their music, half the hall will hear it. But maintenance and cleaning keep up with the idiots and if you have a good resident, she'll do her job to keep those idiots in check. Overall, I liked living there freshman year.

While Creswell is one of the older/dirtier dorms, you can't beat the location and the people who live here. I was hesitant to live here, but if I could choose again I would still pick Creswell. I have made so many friends living here. It is the best high rise to live in because it is the lowest on the hill and it takes less time to walk everywhere.

Creswell is one of the oldest dorms at the University of Georgia. There are a lot of people that live there so if you are looking to meet a lot of new friends this may be the dorm for you. Because Creswell is old, it is not always in the best shape or the cleanest. However, the staff are very kind.

Cres is in one of the best locations at UGA, but that is it's only advantage vs the other high rises now that they have been renovated. However, the high rises are really great for making friends and getting to know people.
