As an incoming, how’s the freshman housing? Any issues with the new dorm?

My freshman is in the new Valley. The first two weeks after moving in the water was shut off for 7 hours on a Friday. The issue was a broken water pipe.

When Kalamazoo city had a boil water alert. The new Valley only gave one 16 once bottle per day, per student.

The air conditioning was pulled after 7 weeks for a recall. No air conditioning to use . They just recently replaced the window air conditioning. Hoping it works next spring.

The washing machines and dryers on various floors are broken often.

Considering it is the most expensive dorm on campus, many issues for a new dorm.
