Is Stony Island that bad?

@pomegranate19c I stayed in Stony for my overnight. One person that lived there claimed it was the “best dorm”, so there are definitely differing opinions. It’s the by far the farthest dorm from campus–maybe a 20ish minute walk to the quad? So it’s pretty isolated from campus, which puts off a lot of people, especially because winters are cold and freezing, and you have to walk a long way for food unless you cook. Stony is all apartments for 4 people with two double bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and balcony. If you want a more independent living experience and want to cook for yourself (I’m pretty sure you get the apartment meal plan after your first year, so you don’t have unlimited swipes in the dining halls), you might like Stony, especially since no other dorms except North and South have apartments. It definitely isn’t for everyone, but there are some that find it a great dorm for them. There are shuttles/buses that run there so you don’t always have to walk and you do get your own living space–good if you want to host lots of friends at your dorm to hang out or party. Many people get put there because they put their deposit in late/the living arrangements they wanted were full, which is why it might come off with a bad vibe. But if apartment life is something you want and you don’t mind being kinda removed from campus, don’t be put off by what other people say about Stony.
