Well I did a bit of research on it because that's where I'll be staying next year. It seems pretty decent. I mean, there are youtube videos if you look of what the halls and the common area looks like. It's like some guy walking around the flat after a party so it's a bit grody. But, I hear it's kind of loud at night since it's next to Cowgate, and there's drunk people making noise in the wee hours of the day, but I mean whatever, I think it matters more on what you make of the accommodation you're given, and Kincaid seemed pretty diverse and friendly to me.
P.S. are you from santa cruz? cause i'm from the bay area. :P that's so cool
