Dobie 21? is it as bad as yelp says it is?

It is in fact full of minor inconveniences. The elevators stop randomly on floors 10,23 and 24. My friend has a leak in his ceiling that isn't fixed. Dobie has a lot of stuff like that happen and it is kind of a pain but the rooms and everything themselves living wise are quite nice. I am moving out in the fall so I won't experience what the Target will be like. The food isn't great but people complain about it more than I feel they should, it isn't good but it isn't awful either.

People complain a lot to each other about the stuff wrong with the place but it actually gives the place a real sense of community. You small talk about the minor inconveniences on the elevator instead of asking about the weather. The layout of the building having large lobby area downstairs also breeds a social environment but if you are into partying or studying you will find people for either.

The computers they have here aren't great but wifi is fine. Location is fantastic. You can come back into your dorm whenever you just have to show your id to the front desk after a certain time is all.
