Is StuVi1 (10 Buick St) the best dorm at BU?
Students rated StuVi1 (10 Buick St) a 4.5/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.
I lived in a two bedroom apartment and it was awesome. The common room was huge and the bedrooms were bigger than a four person suite.
Pros: large living rooms, single bedrooms, split bathroom with only one other roommate, and full kitchens. Cons: not all apartments are the same (some have smaller kitchens/living rooms), maintenance is not always on top of things (had to wait weeks to get oven replaced), building layout and study spaces are very nice but could use small renovations to keep it up to date (for the price it ought to be pristine). Location can be good or bad depending on the resident's situation.
My room had two seperate rooms with kitchen/bathroom access without disturbing another person, though theres either 1/2 of those rooms per floor. No sound issues, no plumbing issues, was able to keep to myself, though I could use a door (one room has a door, one a curtain). Good amount of space compared to many BU dorms, and it was right there center campus. Laundry is the building over, mail is 2 buildings over. Issue with package delivery as it can be stolen, so secure packages are dropped off at get this, wheelock. The kitchen was nice. Temperature is a bit weird as your two settings boil down to hot or cold sometimes. Sucks to say but this is one of the better dorms on campus.
Probably the best on campus housing. Large living room but kitchen is not huge. Bedrooms are good with lofted bed and both wardrobe and closet. Bathrooms are fine, shower is small but works. Building has nice study lounge and plenty of laundry machines
StuVi1 is a great place to live if you're looking for a quieter, more chill version of StuVi2. It's only open to juniors and seniors, and it's a little older than StuVi2 but it's still super nice. It's all apartment style with 4 bedrooms (limited 2BR), 2 bathrooms, a large living room, and a kitchen, complete with the iconic view of the Charles. Huge pro is the Dunkin/Buick St Market/Loose Leafs right downstairs (takes points!). Only con I would say is that you have to walk a few min to get to the bus, but it's since it's closer east than StuVi2 it's honestly not bad at all.
