Is West Village A the best dorm at Northeastern?

Students rated West Village A a 4.4/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

It's okay but honestly way overpriced and super overrated. Just go to Willis instead, it's a better experience and cheaper than WV

I lived in an apartment with two doubles and a single bathroom. The layout was great, and we were fortunate to have one of the huge floor-ceiling windows that overlooked the MFA, the Fens, and eventually Fenway - you can see the megatron during baseball season which was dope. The common area on the first floor was cool, as it had a pool table and good amount of modern seating for studying. Overall, I loved West A (north). My only gripe is three slow elevators was a bit lackluster for the amount of people who lived there, and sometimes lines would form.

Overhyped and not worth the price >_< lowkey wasn't bad, not much of a dining area and there was a strange amount of bodily fluids in the elevators.

Great room, great bathroom, lots of space compared to other dorms, kitchen is good, natural light is pretty good. The building is super stale and no one really talks to each other (maybe just all upperclassmen dorms are this way). Location is pretty good but west village wind tunnel is real and this is prob the farthest dorm to a gym.

Was an RA in WVA my second year. Had a single on the corner of the building so I got a living room with all windows looking into West Village Quad. AC was existent but would be very wonky. Would either be blowing out for a few minutes and make the room really cold or would be shut off for a few minutes and make the room hot again. Location is generally really good. If you’re CAMD you’ll be walking very short distances to get to classes. Only downside to location was the distance from dining halls. If you’re on meal plan or want to eat at/nearby dining halls, WVA is the farthest place from them on campus. The entrance to WVA South is also in a weird spot. You’ll have to walk around a bunch of buildings to get to it.
