So I'm headed to University this coming summer and was wondering the dorms at the U of A are alright. Alright meaning.. are the dorms much better than the dorms at U of C? I know a fact that the U of C dorms are REALLY bad from people who stayed there few years back, one of my close friends got food poisoning from the dorm food...

OR should I look for a roommate for an apartment or condo? Although it will cost more money, I'm not really sure.
So does anyone have experience or any to say about the dorm rooms at the U of A?
