Living in Blanton Hall | Montclair State University Dorms

[@emoxwaffles]

I know this video came out in 2021 but I just got accepted into MSU and am planning to live in Blanton. This video really helped me get a sense of what it's going to be like. Thank you so much

[@marinasaburova]

Yay! That’s amazing to hear. Congrats!

[@LifeisaPhotoOp]

I went to MSU back in the day. So long ago that the food court didn't exist it was just one big cafeteria. I did enjoy my MSU experience though! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@tonyrivers8688]

I remember the cafeteria. You'd swipe your ID card at the register and it would show you how many meals you had left. It was a great gathering place.

[@kellymeagher5851]

I’m switching from Freeman to Blanton this coming fall. Great video and information about the dorm!

[@marinasaburova]

Thank you! 💕 I hope you like it in Blanton

[@minyaemckenzie]

This video is very helpful love that you did time stamps

[@marinasaburova]

Oh my gosh you’re welcome!

[@spicyspinach9899]

That's nice they have a food court and lounge in there. We had to go to a totally different building to eat if you wanted to eat out

[@marinasaburova]

It’s definitely useful! Especially when the weather isn’t good

[@tonyrivers8688]

Freeman Hall cafeteria or the student center right?

[@ayomideogunsanmi6067]

Nice to see how the dorms are. Just got accepted to their grad school. Any idea the price range of off campus housing? Thank you

[@gauravpdaksh]

Is Stone hall filled with freshmans? or grduate students too

[@marinasaburova]

From what I understand it’s just freshmen

[@gauravpdaksh]

@@marinasaburova no upperclassmen? also in Freeman hall?

[@marinasaburova]

Not sure about freeman, it’s a less popular dorm and I was never in the area and didn’t know anyone there. Same with stone hall

[@gauravpdaksh]

@@marinasaburova so where does graduates reside besides hawk crossings and the village...The heights has graduates?

[@marinasaburova]

Honestly MSU doesn’t have a lot of graduates and most of them likely commute. So the few graduates would be in heights, village, hawks, Russ, Blanton. Village + hawks is most popular for sure bc they have a kitchen and more freedom

[@jonathanfalkowsky672]

Nice to meet you. I just saw your other video on pro and con at MSU. I agree with you. This school needs to have a better environment for their students if they want their students parents to pay

[@marinasaburova]

It could definitely be more welcoming

[@tonyrivers8688]

I lived in 5B27 and a few other rooms. There's nothing like the fun of being a young adult among other students living on campus. I lived at Clove Rd too. I can't wait to check out the new dorms when I go back to finish my degree. Gotta get my grades up at a CUNY.

[@tonyrivers8688]

Hello I have a book

[@tonyrivers8688]

I have a book of stories about Blanton Hall from the early 90s

[@tonyrivers8688]

It's New York times bestseller list shit

[@tonyrivers8688]

And I can't wait to get back

[@tonyrivers8688]

Because my future degree is in Montclair State University

[@neikabrown9198]

Hi. I’m attending Montclair in the hall. I was looking at the dorms online. I’m trying to choose between Blanton and The Heights? What do you think🤔

[@marinasaburova]

Hey! The heights are definitely a bit nicer (physically), but are a bit more expensive. They’re also quieter. Blanton is more lively and a bit more affordable. The rooms are a bit smaller. I personally chose Blanton because it worked for my budget better and I didn’t mind sharing the bathroom and stuff!

[@spicyspinach9899]

Do you guys have a full kitchen? We had a full kitchen with full fridge and cabinets...

[@richardc_2382]

I go to Montclair ... Trust me everyone just mine their own business and pretty much go to class and leave. That's it, nothing interesting . College experience is not as I expected TBH!!! 😂😭

[@marinasaburova]

I agree!

[@tonyrivers8688]

I had a lot of friends in the dorms. The fire place at Stone Hall was fun too. I loved dorm life.

[@spicyspinach9899]

Wow a temperature check? What if you just have a cold in the winter and is not feeling well...you cant go to your room?

[@taylorjackson1385]

are you able to choose your other suit mates if u choose to live in a double?

[@marinasaburova]

Yup!

[@dezireviz7086]

hi is it difficult to make friends here at montclair? how is the social life

[@marinasaburova]

I think It’s pretty hard, especially with Covid. Before Covid it was easier but social life isn’t the most exciting here. Most people commute or leave for weekends

[@LifeAccordingToApolonia]

how’s student life at montclair, especially with covid? i’m thinking about committing here but everywhere i read about student life ppl say it’s dull or boring :/

[@marinasaburova]

It is pretty dull tbh, because it is a commuter school. They have events which can be fun but it’s not what I expected

[@spicyspinach9899]

Do you guys still have classes?

[@maddylucas6699]

I had a question about the types of storage that you used. I watched your other video and loved how you decorated your dorm, and since I am dorming next fall I just wanted to ask were you got them. Thnxs. :)

[@marinasaburova]

Aw thanks 💕! The ones under my bed are from the brand is IRIS. I got them at bed bath and beyond! Any drawer dividers are from IKEA

[@jj5ben77]

I’ve been living in that jail cell (Blanton) for 3 years. I finally decided to commute 🙂

[@saanchalpatel5773]

can we change our major after 1 year?

[@marinasaburova]

Yes!

[@saanchalpatel5773]

Is montclair good for biology major ?

[@marinasaburova]

I’m not sure tbh

[@roxygribbin7046]

omg you are so well spoken and pretty, living in blanton next year im hype LOL

[@marinasaburova]

Wooo! I hope you enjoy it there!

[@spicyspinach9899]

Did u say they can enter your room through the bathroom? Oh hell no!

[@ForeverInColor]

[@marinasaburova]

[@deionwoods9165]

[@marinasaburova]
