Reviews of Texas college dorm life

[StudentResearcherLea]

The problem sets and research proposals are no joke! But hey, the theoretical side of things keeps me curious and motivated!

Now, I've been thinking about diving into dorm life next year and would love to hear some reviews from fellow Texas college students. How's the vibe at different universities? Any tips on balancing the intense coursework with dorm social life? I'm all about analyzing data and theoretical concepts, but when it comes to choosing the right place to live on campus, I could use some guidance. Share your experiences, Longhorns and Aggies! Hook 'em Horns! Gig 'em!

Texas A&M Dorm Rankings (based on 33 reviews):

#1 Wells Hall: "Spacious modular rooms, private bathroom with separate areas, close to Commons dining and Southside Rec, community kitchen"
#2 Haas Hall: "Great location, social environment, but shows age"
#3 Mosher Hall: "Recently renovated, engineering-focused, connected to Commons, suite bathrooms for 4 people"

For balancing coursework: Both Jester (UT) and Hullabaloo/Wells (A&M) have multiple study lounges per floor/building . Also, check if your major has an LLC—living with people in your classes makes group projects and study sessions way easier!
