If you can get a single here, DO IT. Definitely the ideal “college experience” dorm and you’ll never get to have a place like this again. Lived in the same single for two years and nothings gone wrong. Cannot recommend it enough.
Pros
Location is everything. You are at the heart of chapel hill
If you get a single, they are perfectly sized. Some singles are even too big
Everything just works.
Bathrooms are great, every floor has a private in addition to communal bathrooms.
Laundry right on first floor, and with new machines super easy to reserve one because it can get full quick.
Such a great mix between quiet and interesting people live here.
Can’t get over the fact that it’s older than the state im from.
Everything’s been updated tastefully
Windows are big with great views.
5 min walk to every class.
Cons
Trash is a little far but not bad. Parking is a little tricky too but if you know what you’re doing you can find a spot 90% of the time.
Sometimes there will be events that start at like 7-8 am outside your window by the old well. Not cool.
The lounges are a bit barebones but if your room is cool enough doesn’t matter.
Kitchen kinda sucks but who’s cooking 5star meals in a dorm
Between Old East and Old West they’re pretty comparable, but Old West has laundry in the building. The trash and recycling are closer to Old East, but it’s still not much of a walk.
Pros
Excellent location and the dorms didn’t feel as clinical as some other buildings on campus
There was also a bathroom that was accessible and had one-at-a-time use with a shower, so even though it was a hall bathroom it was private
Cons
Some of the rooms, some singles particularly, were much smaller than the other rooms in the same building
There isn’t convenient parking for unloading or picking up
It is difficult to get in to this building. I had to wait till my senior year till I could finally live here and I wish I had the opportunity sooner
Pros
I had a very large room, 5 min walk to classes
Private accessible bathroom in addition to communal bathroom
Very clean and modern
Cons
In the community, the washers/dryers were only in one building so people had to carry their laundry past the old well (photobombing) to do their laundry

Good location and beautiful area but please check the room size first.
So so tiny rooms. But I loved having a single bathroom close by with private shower.
