Living in Valley II definitely has its pros and cons.
Pros
I love being able to park my car close to my dorm. The valley II parking lot is never completely full so there is always somewhere to park. When I get hungry I love having such a short walk to Valley Dining. It is about the only thing that is a close walk so I try to take advantage of it. Valley II has it's own personal gym because it is the health professions community and it promotes healthy living.
Cons
There is no air conditioning. This was really only a problem when school first began because it has cooled down now. Unfortunately, Valley II is located on a giant hill. The walk up the hill is long and annoying and I dread it every time. I usually end up having to walk up the Valley III hill first, then taking the staircase or path that leads to Valley II just to avoid the hill. Valley II is also located on the very tip of Western Michigan's hilly campus making it far from all my classes.
I love that you included the cons of valley II because most people think that this is the best dorms of out the three Valleys. To my understanding the only difference is the lobbys and hills. You specifically spoke on where you live, but trust me the air, and other things are no different.
