Rieber Vista UCLA Reviews

4
10 reviews

We summarized all 10 reviews with AI for your convenience.

Rieber Vista, a college dorm renowned among students for its central location on the Hill, offers proximity to dining halls and various amenities like UCLA Maker Space. The dorm boasts a strong air conditioning system, ensuring a comfortable learning and living environment. With wide hallways and spacious plaza triple rooms, Rieber Vista provides ample space for students, although reviews suggest more storage spaces would be a valuable addition. The shared bathrooms come equipped with two sinks, a shower, and a toilet, cleaned weekly, creating a convenient shared space for suite mates. Despite the appeal of the private bathrooms and general room size, students have highlighted thinner walls, frequent elevator breakdowns, and occasional persistent bathroom issues as potential areas of improvement. The dorm also features study lounges on every floor, allowing for uninterrupted academic work; however, it's noted that socializing might be somewhat harder due to the lack of communal bathrooms. Views from top floors and strong AC are also positives, but it's worth noting the elevated location means a bit of uphill walking.

the location is pretty central on the hill in terms of the dining halls, it's a bit far up the hill for those that mind walking uphill longer distances but it's not too bad, one major positive is that this building has air conditioning and most of the rooms have shared/private restrooms, the elevato...

I lived in rieber vista freshman year and it was a pretty good experience! I had a plaza triple with shared bathrooms so I had 3 roommates and 3 suite mates. The plaza rooms are really big so we all had a lot of space to move freely and live comfortable but i wish there was more storage space. The...

I have been living in Rieber Vista for two years now and I really like it. Last year and this year I lived in a triple; even though there are 3 people living together it still feels spacious. The bathroom is good because the shower and toilet are separate which makes it more convenient for everyone ...

There are also some nice views at the end of the hallway on the top floors. AC is very strong and bathroo...

I’m in a shared triple plaza on the second floor and taking dorm size, dorm quality, building amenities, and location convenience into consideration, I’d say Rieber Vista is a solid value choice for those looking for a triple. The shared triple option has a more appropriate dorm space sizing and is ...

The hallways are high key ugly but the location is good, there aren’t too many fire alarms, the bathroom had some persistently annoying but not dealbreaker malfunctions. The closet space is enough and the desks are nice.

Rieber Vista is a great building central on the Hill. It is close to Rendezvous and Feast, a take out eatery and dining hall, respectively, as well as the UCLA Maker Space where you can utilize sewing machines, 3D printing machines, and more. Each room has air conditioning and the hallways are wide ...
