Best University of Colorado Boulder dorms

Number 5

"I really enjoyed Arnett! It’s one of the newest dorms so it has air conditioning and heat —which really comes in handy. The rooms on the second floor have lifted ceilings so it feels very spacious. There are study rooms and laundry rooms on almost every floor. Additionally, because it is a smaller dorm that offer RAP classes, there is a great sense of community. The staff is constantly hosting events and activities." - 4 years ago

"The building is by far the nicest one you can stay at with heating and air conditioning, elevators, ethernet, and a laundry room with around 20 washers and 20 dryers. I stayed in a double single suite which is two singles connected by a bathroom and I was very happy with my room. Hard wood floors were definitely nice as well as windows and I had a sink in my room but I believe only the suits did. The building is the newest dorm and unfortunately because of that it is the furthest from campus and the buses can be a hassle where I would leave the building 30 minutes early and still might be late to class if I took the bus. But walking is easy and there are bikes which are free to rent and you can get to any class in 10 minutes on bike or skateboard. I think what Will Vill in general lacks in distance from campus it makes up for as it has the best culture of any of the three neighborhoods as on warms days the field would be filled and there were many Will Vill specific events that took place. Will Vill also has it’s own rec center and dining hall which was amazing. You will also be walking distance from many restaurants and a grocery store which is definitely a plus. If you bring your car parking will be no issue as there are massive lots as well as a side gravel lot for overflow parking but you will need a parking permit. Overall I recommend will bill over any other dorm I saw as long as you don’t mind the distance from campus." - 2 years ago

"Andrews is absolutely fantastic. Recently remodeled, I got a unit that shared a bathroom with a double next to us.

The most special thing about Andrews is the community. Because it's where the engineering honors kids live, there's a really special camaraderie. The director of the engineering honors program also lives in the dorm with his kids. Free coffee and tea bar, and the biggest kitchen on campus.

Just as a heads up though, there isn't a couch or chair in the entire hall that hasn't seen some romantic action. The couch is in the rec room are the worst for that." - 4 years ago

"Pros:
Location - close to C4C/ engineering side of campus (just walk through hallett)

Front Desk - no front desk which is great if you like to party late and not have to walk by the RAs, sucks if you get locked out though since you have to go to Willard to get a temp

Amenities - kitchen/bathroom are small but still really nice to have, especially the bathroom, not having to share a communal is a dream!

Cons:
Size - one of the smaller dorms on campus (3 floors), so depending on what type of person could be a pro or con

Age - Reed is an older dorm that hasn't been remodeled in a while, so no AC and the rooms are not the cleanest. Also had kind of a lounge, but it's in the basement and out of the way if you aren't in the basement

Price: not sure on the exact price, but it is a bit more expensive than other dorms, mainly because of the kitchen and bathroom, but I think it is worth it.

Overall:
Reed was an awesome dorm to live in my freshman year and I would highly recommend others to consider this dorm!" - 4 years ago

"This is by far the best dorm on campus. It is one of the few with AC, and is central to almost all buildings. It’s the most recently renovated.
Tip: If you want to meet a lot of people very quickly request a triple or quad room in baker and it will become the floor hangout very quickly. I lived in a triple and we always had far more space than was used + We were able to have lots of people over to hangout." - 4 years ago
