Is Stearns West Hall the best dorm at CU Boulder?

Students rated Stearns West Hall a 3.1/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

Worst dorm at CU. Its ugly and far from campus and so inconvenient so get to classes and to go out. DONT REQUEST THIS DORM (unless you are weird and you like quiet lame stuff). Its so hard for me to go to my classes because its so far from campus that end up not going because it takes forever. Also the elevator SUCKS it takes forever and it smells like weirdos and one is usually broken. Good luck if you get stuck in the jail towers. I hate this dorm because as someone who likes to go out and party this dorm and sucks because it is so far and its filled with weird people. Also the laundry sucks because there is not enough washers and dryers for how many people that live in the Hell towers. Also the windows suck I have one small window in the corner that gives no light. Also my floor is girls only so its SO LAME. The only good with about living in willvill is there is lots of parking space but if you dont have a car good luck because the buff bus takes forever and its always so busy and smells. There are free bikes but good luck finding one because they are always being used. I HATE THIS DORM SO MUCH SAVE ME PLZ

We had a closet for a room. There wasn’t much community. It was like living in a soviet era apartment block. WillVill isn’t as bad as ppl say in terms of amenities and stuff but by god are the strains towers terrible.

Aside from location and the dreaded buff bus, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Met all my close friends on my floor and loved the size of the rooms and expansive grounds. Was also great having Sprouts across the street. Go WillVille!

This is probably one of the worst dorms on campus, but i still had a good time. The bathroom on my floor was very gross (ceiling paint chipping off, always very humid, etc.), but the rest of the floor was always kept very clean. My single dorm gave me plenty of space. Despite these things, I had a great time living in WillVill and loved the fact that I had some distance between where I slept and where my classes were. I met my best friends in this building, so try not to worry too much about your freshman year building.

i had an apartment style and it was super convenient!! the location and community was super great and it's right across from the dining hall and next to the bus stop. it's close to sprouts as well as cosmos and some other food places. the only negative honestly is being so far from campus but i would say it evens out, especially with the RAP classes that are at willvill! definitely a little harder to make friends but if you put yourself out there it's awesome!!
