UNT dorm review-maple hall(don't live there)
For those that are choosing what dorm to be in at UNT, do NOT pick Maple hall. And don’t wait to sign up for housing till the last minute because chances are, you’ll be put in Maple. Why shouldn’t you live in Maple? -the walls are so thin that I can hear my suite mates talking(and their voices are kind of quiet) -when you go to the bathroom, you have NO privacy. Your roommate and your suite mates will be able to hear your poop go into the water. -there’s only 2 doors to get in/out of maple and they are in the same location which is the middle of the building. -you have to shut the door yourself or else it will slam as if someone just shot a gun. Its scary as hell when you’re not expecting it. -the water is shit. Multiple times the water has been shut off(maybe an hour) and when turned back on, every single time there’s no hot water and this can last for days. The first time they shut off the water and turned it back on, we had brown water come out of our sink. It also fucks with your shower and causes pressure to build up and you have to run the shower for 30 minutes to an hour until it goes back to normal. It broke my shower head the first time. -you can’t control the temperature in your room. At all. Most of the time they keep it cold(which I prefer, especially to go to sleep) but every once in a while they do something and the air gets still and warm and uncomfortable. Also, no ceiling fan -the power will randomly go out. So far this has happened to me 3 times(that I’m aware of) -there is only one laundry room, and even though it has over 20 washing machines and like 16 dryers, its in the same location as the doors so if you live in the far side of the building, in the back, on the 3rd floor(guess where I live) its a bitch to carry your laundry. -the WiFi sucks. I mean the WiFi sucks everywhere but its the worst in maple. It will randomly shut off on you, every time you get back on your computer you have to wait for it to connect back to the WiFi and this takes FOREVER, and it’s just super slow. But hey at least it’s practically impossible to clog the toilets!
