Having recently moved to Chicago, one of the things I’ve loved most has been becoming part of a building filled with fellow Irish people. Moving to a new city can feel overwhelming at first, but having a community that shares a common background has made the transition incredibly welcoming and enjoyable. What stands out most is the sense of connection and friendliness. There’s an instant understanding and familiarity that comes from shared experiences, traditions, and humour. Whether it’s a quick chat in the hallway, recommendations for places to visit in the city, or getting together for social events, there’s always a feeling that people are looking out for one another. I’ve also enjoyed how the community balances celebrating Irish culture while embracing life in Chicago. It’s been a great way to feel connected to home while building a new life abroad. The friendships and support network that naturally develop in this environment make a huge difference

Lovely amount of space in bedrooms and bathroom and the kitchen and living room but it could use more overhead light in the bedroom quite dark

I am staying at Dwight Lofts in Chicago during my J1 summer, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfortable, convenient, and social accommodation. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and settled in quickly thanks to the friendly atmosphere and well-maintained facilities. One of the best things about Dwight Lofts is its excellent location in the heart of Chicago. It is within walking distance of many popular attractions, restaurants, shops, and public transport links, making it easy to explore the city and commute to work. The central location allowed me to make the most of my time in Chicago and experience everything the city has to offer. The accommodation itself is modern, clean, and fully furnished. Having access to a full kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, and comfortable living spaces made day-to-day life very easy and enjoyable.

I've loved my community at the Dwight. I made some great friends and frequently hang out with my neighbors now. Everyone here is so friendly and waves/smiles at one another!

I love how everyone is so kind in the elevator and everyone looks out for each other. Having the sky lounge allows us to meet people and become friends easily which is really nice and builds community.

Dwight is pretty good so far I don’t have any complaints about the building, my only this is the people that live in it. At night time their so loud, that’s really my only complaint.

Very good housing; good amenities, amazing water pressure, and a fun environment. The deck allows for a good place for people to meet up, bond, and relax. I also greatly enjoy the gym on the first floor

I love how there are a lot of activities that you can do, and you can have a lot of fun. I really do love my community. I love to go a lot of places, like I love to go to the library and read books. I also love to walk around downtown sightseeing.

Every event at dwight lofts have been so fun and the community here is so welcoming and encouraging. I am really happy to be at the dwight and with this community.

I love the diversity and the ability to speak to other creatives like myself! I love being able to have the opportunities at Columbia I wouldn’t be able to have at another school.

I really like living here at the dwight. Compared to other student housing I was considering this is by far the best. My favorite part is the full kitchen because it saves me a lot of money on eating out or a dining plan.

I love how chill everyone is and open to creating a community in the dorms. I think having access to the sky lounge and graffiti room especially makes it fun and easy to get out of your room and talk to others.

All of my suite-mates are wonderful people. We love to watch shows together and sit in the living room to talk. We communicate very well and support each other. We also make each other laugh and it helps to have amazing people in my life to support me while we all go through this new big change of college.

I love how everyone is nice, always asking how are you, or how was your day. And can always ask questions if you need help with anything here.
