Dish Dirt on Your Dorm
Was your dorm room completely unlike the college catalog description? Did you live in luxury for your four-years at college? Dish the dirt on your college dorm experience at Dorm Advisor.Â
At Dorm Advisor, students can register for the site, and share their insights into dormitories at colleges around the United States. Dorms are given star ratings, much like hotels, on a scale of one to five stars.Â
Dorms are rated for a number of qualities, including: location, cleanliness, noise, room size, bathrooms, parking, social atmosphere, academic atmosphere, temperature control, price, furnishings, and meal plans. You also have the ability to leave comments as well as completing the star ratings.
The site looks to be somewhat new as many college dorms are not yet rated. In fact, I looked up one of the colleges I attended and there was not a single dorm review. Nevertheless, this sounds like a great idea, and I am sure that it will be helpful once it becomes more filled out.
I know I would have liked to have read some dorm reviews before choosing which dorm to stay in in my undergrad years. So perhaps I’ll head on over and add my own review and hopefully future students will benefit from it.

Hey, great article. I know this is going to sound odd but I am the co-owner of this website and I would like to speak with you. Thanks, trust me I’m not mad about the article!
