Ellicott Complex - University at Buffalo

"Overall an average place, the staff and place isn't bad it really just depends on who's living there/the students. The community bathroom shared about 12 people, trash is taken out almost everyday, maintenance is timely most of the time but can't help you perfectly for some situations. Due to students not being able to cook though, often the fire alarm is triggered easily. Most needs are in walking distance, and they're okay despite being repetitive after a while of eating it. Parking is free for students staying on campus, you need a parking pass though. They hold events in the dorms from time to time too. Each section of Ellicott has a lounge of sorts on the second floor where they hold events, you can study/hangout. From experience I personally recommend Wilkeson freshman year, Fargo sophomore year for best financial benefits/worth. If you're living in these dorms and have no car I would recommend a meal plan, and when you can switch to dining points for best financial benefits. Overall not a bad place to get to know new people, and live. After the first two years I would recommend living off campus though, or even after freshman year if you have a car."

"Pretty nice dorm, had it’s issues but it’s not the worst student housing out there. Work orders are addressed quickly, rooms are spacious, the outdoor grounds are well maintained They could use an updating and need better HVAC systems though"

"Know for its amazing hospitality towards consumers and soothing environment , EBC west provides the perfect scenery for a nice date to brunch or dinner. As for the delicious food , the menu can be quite pricy bit its definitely worth every cent because of how fulling and tasty the meals are ."

"The place is alright, bathroom in the halls with 2 stalls and showers, cold in the winter, hot in the summer. Getting food is convinient."

"Needs major upgrade, get rid of asbestos, renew furniture, needs more private area for quiet study"
