Pros/Cons of living in a dorm

Living at Howard Plaza Towers has pros and cons.
The pros: this is probably the cheapest place you will be able to live at that's walking distance from school. You have to show your ID to enter the building always, so its very safe (as in people who dont live there cant just walk in). There's a C-store and a (small) gym in the building. Right across the street is the banneker public tract which is open 24/7.

Cons: it is an undergraduate dorm so there is noise, fire alarms late at night at times, and everything (move-ins, hours of the C store) are all set to undergrad school dates. Additionally the main room is only open 9-5, Monday-Friday (and this is the only way you can get a package).

Reviewed by Howard Med Student living at The Shay
Very vibrant part of town, with a lot of young professionals. There is a lot to do in the neighborhood from restaurants, bars, and even workout studios/gyms. There is so much within walking distance, and there are two metro stops also within walking distance. It is very convenient especially if you are a Howard student. You really couldn’t be in a better neighborhood than U Street corridor and the Shaw District.
Reviewed by Kelly, GW Law Student living at 13|U
Love the restaurants on 14th and the availability of bars in my neighborhood, however the U st bars have creepier people than the bars in other parts of the city. Also my phone was stolen at Tropicalia. Don't go there.
Reviewed by Washington DC Resident living at 2303 14th St NW
There are not many grocery stores nearby, but there is a great Chinese Restaurant down the street. The neighborhood is probably one of the safest places in DC.
Reviewed by Alexander Ramirez, Howard Med Student living at 14W
Great parks, restaurants, and bars nearby. Also close to several supermarkets, coffee, shops and a metro station

Shaw // U St is a great place to live. Tons of fun bars and restaurants nearby as well as great shopping.
Reviewed by Cori living at Camden Roosevelt
There are a bunch of restaurants and bars in the area, so that is a major plus. The area is also right next to Meridian Hill Park, so you have easy access to a lot of outdoor space. Depending on the exact location of the building, there can be a lot of noise, but the area is overall safe.
Reviewed by AMLives living at 1303 Florida Ave Northwest
Although, noisy, the U street corridor is by far the only place I'd want to live in DC. Yes, the area is in serious need of some parking garages but between the convenience and amazing nightlife this area has it all.
Reviewed by GW Resident living at The Wren
Love Shaw, feels like a neighborhood but with plenty of fun things to do & very close to everything you would need. Access to public transit while not too far from VA or GW.
