Towers Hall — Local services in Philadelphia

"Towers Hall, analogous to Todd Towers, is a living quarters inhabited by only the highest of high society—if, of course, 'high society' were redefined to mean young scholars cohabiting with a diverse multitude of six-legged, antenna-wielding roommates and oftentimes inspiring molds. Let me tell you, nothing quite says 'ivy-covered halls of academia' like the intricate tapestries of mold flourishing in our communal bathrooms. It's like living in a petri dish where science comes to life! The mold varieties we boast could easily be featured in a microbial art gallery, each colony competing for the title of 'Most Creative Use of a Damp Corner.'

And the roaches! My dear, do not mistake these for your garden-variety pests. No, they are Titans amongst insects, fearlessly parading over our textbooks and snack stashes as if they pay tuition themselves. They're not just bugs; they're the unofficial hall mascots inspiring us to vigilance and cleanliness at every turn. It's practically a bonus education in entomology, invaluable to any budding biologist.

But the pièce de résistance, the true cherry on top of this utopian sundae, must be the sweet serenade of janitors lovingly caressing our floors and emptying our trash bins at the break of dawn, specifically at 7 am, before crucial chemistry exams. Ah, the harmonious symphony of brooms and vacuums—they say it's the best mind-clearing pre-test meditation. Who needs an extra hour of sleep when you've got the rhythmic swoosh-swoosh of cleaning tools lulling your overstressed neurons into a sense of frenzied preparedness?

In conclusion, if one wishes to be immersed in an environment that tests their resilience against the forces of nature, all while nurturing an appreciation for the unsung heroes of the custodial arts, Towers Hall is your ideal destination. Five stars and two thumbs up—because living here is nothing...

I have never stayed in a place this unpleasant, dirty, and neglected before. There is a shared bathroom per floor. The shower cabins are full with mold of different colors (see pictures). Every day I had to find a cabin that had the least amount of smell and hair. The ceiling in my room had a water leakage. As a result, every day, pieces of the ceiling would fall on the floor, closer and closer to my bed. I reported these problems several times. Every time I was told that somebody would come to have a look at these issues, but this never happened. After I complained for the fourth time about parts of my ceiling falling to the floor, I was moved to the neighbour room. But nothing happened to the bathrooms, even though they said that the mold would be removed. The mattress is uncomfortable and makes loud noises with every slight move, which makes it hard to...

Towers is objectively the worst resident hall in Drexel, and is next to be renovated. The floors are bifurcated between gender, so boys and girls are segregated. In each floor the washrooms are communal, and there are no doors to the showers. The whole place is showing serious signs of aging. Towers is extremely old, derelict, and dated in the 1990s. As of 2025 the place is practically falling apart. The rooms are on the larger size, but are really grimy. Everyone agrees Towers is the worst hall to stay in, I do not recommend you stay here, and it should be your last choice if you have too. If you are a clean person and don’t like living in filth like a tramp, definitely don’t stay here,...
