PCH vs Public?

I’ve looked at a TON of things on the internet, and I’m really still not sure whether I should go with public or private housing. I really like the suite style bathrooms, larger rooms and the smaller community of private, but because I’m inherently really shy, I am also considering public because I feel like I will be forced to make new friends. I like the proximity to the ARC of public, the price, the food, and the maintenance because I’ve heard that PCH is sometimes really slow with maintenance.

Basically, I’m still stuck between the two. I wanted to do public, but I’m nervous about the bathroom situation. Is it really as bad as I think?

What are some of the best halls in public and in private? I am going into Industrial Engineering, female, and I’m open to doubles or triples. Want it to be social, but not to the point where I can’t sleep. I’ve heard the 6 Pack is too loud and ISR is too quiet, so maybe something in the middle. I was looking at Weston for public and Illini Tower or Hendrick for private, just to give you an idea.

Read only bad reviews online, and I want to see if they’re accurate.

The reviews for Hendrick and Illini Tower in terms of maintenance are very poor, with many saying that they don’t respond quickly to complaints. I’ve seen that they might also charge extra to fix something despite taking forever. Is this true?

Was the LLC beneficial in any way to you?
