Millennium Hall, Drexel University — Local services in Philadelphia

The best thing about Millennium is the private showers and the potential to make a host of new friends during your freshman year: With each floor having two common areas and a kitchen in between. Also, depending on where your room is located and what floor you're on, the view can be quite nice. Or you can be staring at a building, it all depends.

Some of the worst things about Millennium are the poorly lit dorm rooms, minimal space offered and high cost of living in such an insultingly small room. To put it into comparison with the rest of the neighborhood, full apartments can be rented for about $500 a month whereas Millennium runs for about $1,100 a month. The staircases are left quite filthy, the kitchen area has poorly performing stoves and sometimes the ovens do not work. There was a light in the common area that took about two weeks to get fixed as well. Millennium is also split with girls on one half of the floor and guys on the other. So true that as you will.

All in all millennium is decent but by no means worth the price at all. Especially because you're paying such a large price for half of a room so small. In addition millennium will only be around for a few more years as the building's foundation is unable to sustain it...

The private showers and toilets can be a real life saver / stress reliever. The views are for the most part great, and it has far fewer issues than other dorms in the area. The students there are mostly honors students, so they respect you when you knock on the door and ask them to keep it down the night before a final or when you are trying to study. In addition, the common areas on each floor are great places to hang out. Given that you have to live on campus freshman year if you don't commute, I would say that I think Millennium Hall is the...

i lived on 4th floor during a summer quarter. the rooms come with 2 each of: twin xl bed, tall wardrobe, desk (can not fit a vertical monitor), short wide 2 drawer dresser (fits under bed), small 2 drawer dresser (fits under desk), an uncomfortable slippery metal chair (you will want your own after a week) total of 12 electrical outlets (all of which are at the exact hight that the panels on the side of the bed frame blocks them) and 2 ethernet ports no ceiling lights, only one long led bulb on the wall with a plastic defuser. ac is blasting at all times and it gets especially cold at night. air pressure makes the doors quite difficult to...
