   Heritage Halls

   view → Heritage Halls

   4.0(89 reviews)FMP Score

   why it ranked: Heritage Halls earns its ranking by offering freshmen and younger students a convenient, well-maintained home base with solid amenities like full kitchens and spacious common areas. The location near campus, bus stops, and Creamery on 9th is genuinely walkable, and good roommate matching means you're likely to click with your suite-mates. One first-year resident shared, 'I really appreciated having a full kitchen and living room space. I shared a room with another student-athlete from my team, which worked out perfectly.' Just know that parking is the real trade-off here but if you're car-free or don't mind the walk, it's a solid choice.
