Late check-in available after ferry. Basic Rooms.
Was told breakfast went until 11am - ended at 10. The cafeteria did end up letting us have it still but were very grouchy about it.

The dorm atmosphere reminded me the day in college. It was exactly what I expected; weird but very interesting night. We spent the evening dining in the kitchen too, so very happy to experience that with my husband because we never spent a day in a dorm together.
It was quite noisy when so many guests came in late and left early.

Breakfast was adequate. The cafeteria location is quite far from the room and suite parking is a long was away so anyone with mobility difficulties has a problem. The University should make access easier. There as pay parking near by and the lot is empty on off season rental time and should be included in the price.
There are three floors in the residences with 15 steps up to each floor. An option for preferences would be good to accommodate folks with mobility issues. We were on the third level and my sore knees got quite a workout over three days.
