Northeastern Dorms Ranked

Number 10

"Dorm is full of odd people, being the ones that choose the community service or green living LLCs. Small dorm with large basement. The singles are generally larger than singles in other dorms. Older building, but bathrooms are clean and there is always a single bathroom available on the floor for when you need it. Keep in mind, there are no elevators and boys live on the third (top) floor." See all 5 reviews

"All of the West Villages are very nice. With West A I never had any rodent/pest problems like I had with freshman and sophomore dorms, and its very nice to have a private bedroom in a shared apartment. I was on the side overlooking the Wentworth field and it makes for great views with good sunsets. However there were often games being played at the field up until 10-11 at night some nights which would add to the noise outside (it was never too bad though), but the games also resulted in the bright field lights being on until as late as midnight some nights and that would sometimes make it hard to sleep unless the blinds were completely shut. The AC is a big plus, but you have less control over it than you might think - during the winter the building turns off the AC system, which isnt a big deal except for those odd days in March where its unusually hot outside."

Number 8

"I lived here on campus for 8 fall + spring semesters in undergrad and it was probably honestly the most worth it for my money. The double rooms and living room space is definitely big enough for everyone to have their adequate storage space and the kitchen with the dishwasher and pantry provides even more space. The bathroom is split so that the toilet and shower are separate from the sink, which is super convenient if another roommate needs the sink. It’s also super convenient if you have most of your classes in Behrakis! :)" See all 14 reviews

Number 7

"The dorm is an apartment/Leased Property. Technically on campus housing but ‘off campus’ through the university. No proctor, you swipe in with your ID. (Which is good for getting packages). Good size living room & kitchen w/ pantry. Living room has a lot of light! Kitchen is regular size with an oven/stove/microwave + regular fridge. One bathroom. The bedrooms are regular size, a little bigger than freshman but nothing crazy. If 2 singles, 1 of the singles is a bit skinner than the other. If 2 doubles, the bigger ‘single’ is a double. Laundry + Trash is in the basement- with only 2 sets of washers/dryers that take huskyID (you pay for the others). Usually a double & 2 singles. building looks old but the insides are nicely Renovated & a really good value!! Would recommend as a non-dorm feeling! Only 5 apartments in the building."

Number 6

"Hands down the best dorm on campus, especially if you can snag a room on the all-glass side of the building. Views are incredible and apartments come with all the standard enhanced-dorm fare: AC, fairly new appliances, great clean bathrooms, furnished living room, etc.

One downside was the heating couldn't really keep up with the heat loss from the huge windows in the winter, especially at night, and the apartment could get pretty chilly. The furnishings were a little old, as with any dorm, but clean enough and easily serviced with a work request if anything was wrong. Aside from that, definitely recommend living here if you're lucky enough to get a good lottery number!" See all 1 review

Number 5

"West G is a good dorm, the weird building shape creates even weirder room shapes but it can be unique looking at some points. They made each apartment with a lot of windows so you get some great views. The appliances are old but at least they work properly. You get a pantry and apple kitchen storage too. The bathroom has a separate toilet/shower area that is separated from your sink area. Everything is covered in carpet so maybe invest in some carpet cleaner because that will always smell. It is a good dorm but extremely expensive.

If money is not an issue this is a nice and easy living situation. But if you are frugal you can find way better off-campus with a less than 15 min commute. The location is also nice since it is close to mini Wollastons and Marino. However, if your first class is in EV it will be a bitch of a 15-20 minute walk in the winter months." See all 6 reviews

Number 4

"Overall a great place to live. Pros: it's a full apartment so you get a full-size living room, kitchen, bathrooms, etc, GIANT windows, AC & heating, laundry on every other floor, study rooms on every other floor. Spaces are a good size and plenty of space for storage. Also, it's a fantastic location on campus, literally a 5-minute walk to anywhere on campus. Cons: walls are paper thin!!!, my personal apartment was facing Willis (back of the building) so we never got any direct sunlight and the areas were always dark, no community feel within the building."

Number 3

"Lived in an apartment style room with a double and a single. Each room had a window per bed. Super nice kitchen that had a garbage disposal, lotsof space and dishwasher. The bathroom had two sinks and a door between the sinks and the shower+toilet so you could get ready while someone else was using the actual bathroom. Each room has the keypad lock that locks automatically when it closes so you need your husky card on you to get back in your room but you don't have to punch in your pin.

It's definitely one of the nicer places on campus which is why its SOOOO expensive. I loved it but I couldn't justify the price after being there. I don't think you need all these things and I had less room in my double in west b than I did in my double freshman year. There was like 1 washer that was out of service like the entire year. One elevator went out of service like four times which is so fine and it's whiny to complain about but it SUCKS when you're paying that much.

Wollaston's being downstairs is also nice especially when you just need one ingredient and it's snowing outside however if youre prone to compulsive snacking it could become a problem. (source: me. im the snacker). I don't know... if you aren't taking out loans and have the money and the selection number go for it, but I would recommend saving that money focusing on paying off loans before you start accruing interest after you graduate (depending on your loans idk im just a college student not a financial advisor)" See all 3 reviews

Number 2

"The absolute best place to live on campus. I lived in a two-bedroom apartment with one other person and it was luxurious, but it is also the most expensive place to live on campus. Private bathroom, private room, updated appliances, fantastic heating/cooling, no proctors. 6th-floor rooms have balconies with the doorknobs taken off, but the wind has blown them open several times. There is also a weird tendency for power outages that you should be aware of but typically aren't a problem. You have to buy your own internet which costs around $50 a month divided by the people you live with. Northeastern does give you a $100 credit for the semester for wifi, Laundry is outrageously expensive in the building with a wash and dry coming out to $8. You will have a fantastic semester here, it will just cost you an arm and a leg if you do not have housing scholarship/aid" See all 1 review
