Kinsolving Residence Hall Dorm Reviews at UT Austin

Kinsolving is a nice place to live. I live in North Tower, which has connecting baths. Everybody here is super nice, and we have the best dining hall attached. Kins market is also super convenient when quickly grabbing a snack or a drink. Kinsolving is pretty far from a lot of classes, though.

Freshman year. Small but conveniently located. It felt safe. I had no problems walking to and from class, food at the hall, made it easy to live there. Had a shared room(2 rooms 1 bathroom) with a staff member. Shared the room with a friend.

Great experience. Clean, quiet, supportive academic environment. Safe and easy access to transportation via bus stops. Near local restaurants and entertainment. Bike lanes, easy access to campus. Secure badge access.

Kinsolving is great especially if you are a communication student. It is very close to my communication classes which is awesome because of the heat. It is pretty quiet but a dining hall is located there so it can get busy during peak times. I wouldn't choose any other dorm to live though!

My experience at Kinsolving was satisfactory. Everything in the dorm was clean and well-maintained. I did enjoy having a dining hall in the dorm, but the location was far away from other amenities on campus.

It was a great dorm with efficient staff and resident advisors. The people who stayed here were also extremely respectful of one another and were helpful neighbors to have. The events that Kinsolving had really helped bring the community together.

To have a dorm in the Forty Acres is something but to be in one with a buffet? That's amazing! Kinsolving offers everything one needs as a student alongside close proximity to student buildings and even favorable places to eat.

Kinsolving Residence Hall was overall a decent experience. It was a clean and safe environment with a really great staff to help run the residence. The food and store were right downstairs which was amazing and anyone at UT will tell you Kins has the best food on campus! I only wish they'd hosted more events for the residents and that it wasn't so far from everyone else on campus. Give it about an 8/10.

My personal experience at Kinsolving Residence Hall was a pleasant one. The dorm rooms have a lot of storage space around the desks, outside and inside the closets. The shared bathrooms are a nice size and don't get dirty easily. However, the rooms close to the entrance can hear every time the door closes, which can get a little annoying but you get used to it and learn to just ignore it. It is convenient to have the dining hall, a small convenience store, and a small coffee shop in the building if you don't want to go out. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The environment is amazing! Everyone is friendly and the front desk is always willing to help. The best part has to be that the cafeteria is in the same building! There is a 7/11 across the street for late-night trips too!

The other residents are welcoming and sweet. The RA's are amazing and work very hard creating events for residents to attend. I know the two RA's I've had actually care about how I'm doing mentally and physically. It's also really cool one of the dining halls is in the dorm. As well, the coffee shop and market are super helpful for quick snacks or anything. I wouldn't really want to live anywhere else.

The residence hall was alright, I think if you like peace and quiet that would be the place to go, however that might just be because of COVID. The residence hall had a dining hall of its own, which was actually nice because I didn't have to walk far to go get a meal. The food was okay considering it was a school cafeteria. If I got tired of the food I would just go to Guadalupe street which is where all the food and stores were at and considering it was only a 5 minute walk from the hall then I think it was convenient. In my experience there weren't a lot of social events around the residence hall compared to other residence halls such as Jester East or West, but again that could've been because of the pandemic. Lastly I think the rooms are really small for the price that we pay for housing.

Kinsolving has been an amazing dorm for me, especially as an incoming freshman. It is in the north side of campus, which is safer and closer to a lot of my STEM classes. The resources are always available and convenient; with the dining hall in the same building, it helps a lot with time management. The tutoring resources are also amazing. They are free and available 24/7, and it has really helped me adapt to my new college life.

Our dorm has been an incredible place to study and make new friends. We have strict regulations put in place for Covid which have protected us immensely. I met my best friends here and have loved my experience. I just wish I had more room.
