Best CU Boulder Dorms

"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."

"I had a first floor room. The ceiling was pretty high, which made the room feel bigger than it was. The room was very nice compared to other dorms I went to, probably the best I saw. The drawbacks were that my room was besides the parking lot, and the curtains were trash so at night there was almost enough light to read a book. It is also somewhat far away from campus, it is a pain to have to take the bus during the weekends when they don’t go around as much. But, if you don’t mind the buses, it is by far the best building and it is also the newest. Compared to my friends, I can honestly say that Will Vill East was the best dorm by far."

"Such a great dorm and community! Lived in Andrews as a freshman and am excited to come back next year."

"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!"

"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."
