East Residence Halls Dorm Reviews at UMass Boston

The dorms are nice enough, and the staff are very friendly and clean often. There are multiple common areas on each floor, each with a TV and multiple tables - they're my favorite places to study and do my homework in. The rooms are also relatively big, and they have a desk and chair for each person. Your experience will really depend on who is on your floor, and whether you get lucky with your neighbors or not. I didn't, but you might.

East Residence Hall is great. There is the Market for late night snacks, and we have the dining hall for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I think the building itself is very nice, the AC and Heat is great for the hot days and cold nights.

Overall good. When I moved in my room wasn't super clean, but overall a pretty great dorm and a good experience. The shower curtains are nasty though so I wish they'd replace them more frequently. Even in the private bathrooms the shower curtains are nasty.

I like it the dorms are clean, quiet and modern. The central air is very nice as well. I have my own private bath that I share with my roommates but the community showers are also very private and clean as well. The food options are vast.

The residence halls were just built and look older than other schools dorms. Too expensive unless your an in-state student. My room was big enough but a lot of other rooms are smaller. Not the worst but definitely not the best.

The staff and maintenance crew were very polite and they were very friendly to the students in the summer. I would definitely recommend staying on campus. The food there was also well made and there were enough seats for everyone.

It was easy to locate my friends and for the time being when I was around, the people/staff there were nice and welcoming. Although I disliked the bathrooms, it was not far away from my room. I would definitely live there again.

It was a great learning experience! I got to see how it was living on my on, but also share a space with others. That staff and all who worked there were great! Some students still need to learn not to leave a mess for others to take care of tho ?

My experience in the east residence halls has been very good so far. However, my only experience has been during Covid, so I am looking forward to seeing how it operates under more normal circumstances.

The East residence halls are very nice and homey, but it can be expensive compared to the apartments across the street. It is kept very clean and it is very quiet, but that could just be because there was less students due to the pandemic.

I enjoyed my time in the residence halls it was very cleanly and would do it again. if you do not like community bathrooms recommend the dorm with a private bathroom with is better in my opinion. I would give my experience a ten.

My first couple of nights there it was really hard to sleep. Other students were leaving their dorms to go out at 10pm to go out into the city (which is fine), but I can be really disruptive to the people trying to sleep. Our school is near Dorchester however do I could hear gunshots occasionally. The rooms were very clean, spacious and updated and almost felt like hotel rooms.

My experience with the dorms has been good for the majority besides minor things that I overlook since I'm just grateful to be here. It's hard to make new friends due to COVID but there are lounge areas that allow people to meet with other and play games or otherwise if quarantine is done.
