Pretty great location on campus, no different in terms of walking distance than any Southside dorm. Got in here sophomore year and anticipate I'll stay until graduation.

Old apartments but surprisingly large living areas and storage. Of course combined with small bedrooms. Baseboard heating makes under bed storage tricky. Heat doesn’t work great but for campus employed staff they’re pretty responsive.

Shared washer dryer that don’t work super well (won’t dry anything in less than 2 cycles). Since they’re WSU owned, scholarships count for rent. Chief Joseph apartments are smaller but newer and nicer.
