Balboa and Newport Hall Dorm Reviews at Vanguard

The best dorms on campus. Biggest rooms and best amenities. Your quality of time there is how you make it. It is quiet most of the time, it all just depends on who is living above or next to you. Be sure to make friends with your quadmates.

Covid was something else. It was hard to connect with the staff, but when I did they were very nice and accommodating. If there was a maintenance issue, it was fixed quickly and I had no problems after that. Each room has a private bathroom so you are only sharing with the people in your dorm. there is a common living room with a microwave and a closet that I didn't use too much, but some other people really liked the space. I did feel that it added some extra privacy, especially with a front door with a deadbolt. The windows let in plenty of light.
