<p>Dorms, compared to public universities, seem to be a bit better. For instance, they all come with a fridge and microwave, which are great to have.
However, I still could not describe them as “nice.”</p>
<p>The suite dorms are a different story. They are actually nice. Nothing amazing mind you, but not having to use communal restrooms is a big plus. The suites also have air conditioning which, believe it or not, can be pretty valuable in Los Angeles. </p>
<p>All that being said, the “nicest” dorms are in the lowest demand, largely because they are in a distant corner of campus and house a significant portion of the international students (less social). The most desirable dorms are
1.) New
2.) North
3.) Birnkrant
4.) Pardee</p>
<p>Every other dorm seems to constantly have people complaining. </p>
<p>@mom- Thanks for highlighting that again. It can’t be stressed enough. All these answers are coming from me and my limited experience at SC. While I try to supply broad information that I have obtained from speaking with friends, I’m bound to misrepresent some things, so please don’t take what I say too heavily.</p>
