Chadbourne Hall

I came to chad as a visitor. A friend and I were just visiting our high school best friend. The room in this dorm are SOO small. They are super tiny and I guess that’s why I gave it four stars. The location of it is perfect; it’s right in the middle of everything, which makes it really convenient. It also has a convenient store and cafeteria on the first floor. One really neat thing about chad though is that it’s run by the students. Students basically operate the convenient store and the main desk and are on the custodian team. It is pretty neat! They also don’t have to check people in or anything like that since you need a key card to get on the elevator anyway. Overall, I think chad is pretty nice.

I stayed here not as a student, but as a visitor for the Madison Early Music Festival. It’s not as nice as a hotel (shared bathroom and all) but the bathroom was immaculate, the rooms were clean, the staff at the front desk was very nice. There is a dining hall but it’s cafeteria food — I only ate there for breakfast since it was included, and there are great restaurants and cheap food carts very close by at Library Mall. Nice location.

I lived here for three years and in Barnard for my fourth (class of ’02). It’s a great place – centrally located, has dining, and nice people. It won’t give you more than you put into it, but if you’re a fan of such places, I recommend it.
