Statesider & Towers vs. public housing ??

<p>I know this posts from several years ago, but I think answering some of the questions would be helpful for people still looking for reviews (since this is still a top search on google). I’m a current undergrad and lived in public housing my freshman year. While I did enjoy my experience in Sellery, it was dirty (like hot dogs in the ceiling tiles dirty), the rooms were cramped and sharing bathrooms was…rough. Statesider kind of gives you the best of both worlds. The rooms are nicer and you share bathrooms with way less people, but you still get the fun, social side of being in a dorm. Not to mention, it’s right next to Langdon street, so Greek life is at your fingertips.</p>

<p>The Towers is actually an apartment for upperclassmen now. The building is WAY nicer on the inside (I know, looks rough from the outside) and the staff is way more friendly and helpful than most apartment complex staff. The rent is a little pricey, but it’s at one of the best locations on campus and the amenities are pretty sweet. Not having to walk to the Serf is a definite plus. The basement has pool and ice hockey and a huge bar area, so sometimes friends go drink down there. Staff doesn’t do anything about it as long as nothing breaks.</p>

<p>Hope that helps with some of the questions and future Badgers. ON WISCONSIN!</p>
