Living in Maverick Village

I lived in Maverick Village for a year, and I learned a few things about it. Overall, it was a great place to live. Walking to Kayser Hall or the Arts and Science Building in the wintertime was not ideal, but at least there is "building hopping" for that. A lot of people will cut through buildings such as Weber or CPACS to get out of the cold for a minute. Living next to the parking garage is convenient, however. People who live in University Village and park there have longer walk than those in Maverick. In general, the dorms were nice and maintenance was never a problem. Free laundry was the best thing about living there, and there is a large recycling bin in each building, which is great.

There are a few downsides to living in Maverick, though. It doesn't really feel like a college dorm; it is more like an apartment building where the neighbors don't know each other. Also, sometimes there would be a test warning or storm warning about the weather that came out of the speakers at a volume that could probably be heard from across campus. And, it is a dry campus, which is inconvenient if you are over 21. because you can't legally drink in your own dorm.
