I’ve seen a few recent comments about the UAHuntsville freshman dorms having poor Internet and being in need of updating. I would think the Internet would be very important for studying and homework. Can anyone comment on this? Are there plans for building a new freshman dorm or updating the existing ones?
My son said that the new CV II will be built in a couple of years. Not sure if it will house freshmen.
As for CCRH, it badly needs updating. The furniture in the common room was old and very rundown. So was the carpeting, The kitchenette has a dorm-sized fridge in it for four students. My son was very glad to move out after one year.
My biggest complaint is ventilation. No fans in the shower area. It is not just one dorm, either. At the same time, there were no screens on his window, so if he wanted to air out the place after a shower, he would be inviting the bugs in.
As for the internet, he said it was all right. Not great. Not awful.
