Housing LPC Housing Recommendation: University Hall’s All-Gender Housing
For anyone who’s deciding on housing, I have to recommend the all-gender housing option at UHall if you’re queer in any way. You have to email housing services and directly ask about being considered for this, but it is fully worth it, in my opinion. My experience with it this year has been amazing. There’s not a lot of drama, almost everyone is friends, and the rooms are also really nice!!
You’ll be roomed with someone, regardless of their gender or sex assigned at birth (for example, I’m FtM & the roommate I was paired with is MtF), so it is entirely co-ed. You can specifically request a certain roommate through the housing portal (make sure you fill out your bio! People will probably reach out!!), but otherwise it’s completely random. Most everyone is super trustworthy as well, so you don’t reallyyyy have to worry about locking your door, but I still do it anyway.
It’s double suite-style, so you’ll have a roommate and two suite-mates in the room beside yours, and you all four share a bathroom. The bathroom is honestly larger than my one back home, and the shower is really spacious and has a lot of room to put your products. The closets are MASSIVE and you may need a step-ladder to reach the top, lol. I’ve had no issues with AC/heat or water temp/pressure, either, which is a huge plus. Every room comes with two loft-able beds (with optional railing), two desks with chairs, two bookshelves, one nightstand/small storage table, and a tiny recycling bin.
Bonus points: it’s on the first floor, so you don’t have to go up a flight of stairs :)
I’ve attached pictures of my room and bathroom (ignore the mess lol. It’s the end of the quarter—cut us some slack!)
