Great dorm rooms for students with plentiful living space. Our daughter share a dorm w 3 other girls and they each have their own room. They do share a full size kitchen, living room and 2 bathrooms between the 4 girls. Great layout. Our daughter and her roommates seem very happy with their set up and space.

Not enough handicap parking for population of students that come here. Most people have the handicap tags to go inside and hang off the rear view mirror and not the plates that state that you are a disabled person or disabled veteran. I believe the school should have more handicap spots for those of us that are handicapped. It would be greatly appreciated if they do this building new buildings next to the quad. With restaurants and other Industries called Block C. But I do not see enough handicap spots for the amount of students out of people to come here to either drop off their kids or to service those with disabilities. It is a shame that a public school would have so few spots for those of us they're trying to go to school or be parents in support of their children that go to this public school. Is greatly appreciate it that the school should look into. For the well-being of their student population and those of us who support our kids coming to this institution of Higher Learning. We should not be separated but be equal to everyone. Sincerely Gregory Givens ,States Marine Corps, Retired

I have loved living in the QUAD! It will be my 3rd year and have had nothing less than a great experience! Free food most nights planned by RA's, 5 minute walk to campus/ USU, brand new dorms. It sometimes gets loud on Thursday/ Friday night but its college... most weekends people go home and its pretty quiet. Best college dorms you can find from most schools. Not your typical dorm but more like an apartment. There are also lots of options to pick from. Yes its more pricey to live in dorms but you don't have to worry about roommates paying rent, utilities or furniture. Also there is RoomSync to help match you with roommates. I highly recommend the QUAD!!
