Is Kilachand Hall the best dorm at BU?

I lived in a double as a freshman (2017-2018 school year). The double was part of a suite- so we were connected to a triple and we shared a bathroom. Honestly, you might get lucky and end up with a great room (some of the doubles my friends lived in were HUGE but ours was tiny). So my only complaint is that room size isn’t standardized but you pay the same amount anyway. Other than that, has AC, nice study lounges, laundry room off of the lobby, communal kitchen off of the lobby, and a pretty good location across from Bay State dining hall (but I felt it was a little far from classes for me, it’s on the far end of East campus). But you pay more for all of those things!

Pretty lit. AC, private bathroom, quiet building with spacious common rooms. Downsides are that you either walk through your suitemates' room to get to the bathroom, or your suitemates walk through your room. Also depending on your room, you may have 3-4 windows or just one, making the room very dark. Another downside is Kilachand is sort of far from everything, but not too bad. My legs got buff. Kitchen has specific hours. Ninth floor is sort of grungy. Even though I complain, it was a very nice place to stay. I arranged the furniture so I had my own little nook with privacy.

I like it but didn’t love it, my faculty in residence was AMAZING and I loved my big window. However all the lights flickers, my shared closet was smaller than my closet in warren, the bathroom was tiny and worse than warren imo, and the halls are just kinda creepy. My roommates also had to walk through my room to get to the bathroom. It’s not a bad option but for freshman year I’m so happy I went with warren.

Lived there freshman and sophomore year. The rooms range in quality. I've heard horror stories of walls that sweat and bathrooms that haven't been cleaned since the Kennedy administration and you can definitely tell it was built in 1920 but compared to some other places on campus it's not half bad. Rooms that look out over the river are amazing. Maybe the best view you'll ever have for that price. Could do with some updates in the rooms and the ninth floor but otherwise it's pretty good

The Kilachand experience really changes based on your specific room. I was placed in what seemed to be a forced Triple, and it felt like living in a shoe box. However, the facilities in the building were amazing, with AC, in-house Laundry, and two beautiful lounges. It is also really close to a lot on campus, I never had to walk far. Overall, Kilachand is great if you can get a good room layout.
