West Hall — Local services in Denton

I stayed here as a freshman in 2024 - 2024 school year. It may not be the best in terms of amenities, location on campus, etc. but it is highly reliable and great for a next option if your first choice was taken. The food was hit or miss but I could tell that the crew put their best into making good food that didn't have the major food allergens in them. The lobby area was homely. Staff were highly responsive and fixed all my problems. Best perks are the large rooms, actual working heater and air conditioner, very spacious kitchenette and study space, parking on two sides of the building for residents and to temporarily park, and being one of the closest resident halls to Lot 20. Worst things are the thin walls, smelly staircases (seriously, all of them.), washers and dryers would have problems every once in a while, and the location itself being far from campus and having a VERY busy road run through it (though there are lots of roads to get around it if you memorize them). My only complaint was the bathroom situation where it felt like they only cleaned it a few times a week instead of every day but I'm a bit biased because of my floor mates being a bit wack (3rd floor gang). I was a bit sad about there not being any elevators but it's in the description of West Hall on UNT's website so you already have a heads up. I went to the rec a lot so the location was great. If you're a science or liberal arts major, all your classes are on that side of campus. Also the RAs were some of the nicest people I have ever met! They were so awesome and friendly, I befriended all of them and made West Hall feel as much of a second home as possible for my freshman year. Overall pretty solid next choice but I probably would've chosen places closer to the middle of campus (NOT KERR! DO NOT LIVE IN KERR STATE...

The dorm in itself is severely out of date. The food is god awful, either it isn't cooked right or it is just plain bad. The dorm promises 100 Mb wifi, however you will never get that. Wifi will just cut out frequently or just not work at all. The beds are an extreme hazard as they are about 8 feet up in the air, close to the ceiling, and are not well supported at all. The bed itself is prone to shaking and feels very unstable. Mold covers certain walls and ceilings, and the A/C and heating frequently break. The showers are broken in a way of either the water isn't dispensing the correct amount of heat or no heat at all. The placement of the hall is extremely far from any classes, making it a hassle to go to and from class to dorm. Triple occupancy rooms are way too small for the amount of space required for 3 people. Getting an apartment is cheaper and much more efficient than staying at this dorm. Little is in control of the students when it comes to these problems and the frequency of these problems are astronomically high. As a current student of UNT this hall disgusts me for the amount I'm paying for it and the condition it's in. I urge you to not listen to the other reviews, and I would absolutely NOT recommend this dorm to...

My first year in college everyone told me West Hall was the worst place and I would probably get two roommates cause the rooms are large. Which didn't happen so yea the rooms are large and that's a bonus. You are right next to a gas station as well the Rec Center. This is a tight group and the friends you make there are the ones you want. Too many hours in the lobby playing pool probably why I didn't graduate, and my apologies for taking my room number with me. Yea you may be further than most dorms from campus but hey that will help keep the freshman 15 at bay or at least leave room for a...
