Stearns West Hall, colloquially known as "Will Vill," offers a mixed bag of experiences for its residents at CU. The dorm is located far from the main campus, necessitating the use of the often-busy Buff Bus, which can be inconvenient for those attending classes. Despite its distance, the dorm fosters a strong sense of community, with many residents forming lasting friendships. While some describe it as resembling a "soviet era apartment block," others appreciate the ample parking and the convenience of nearby facilities like the dining hall, Sprouts grocery store, and various dining options. The dorm offers a range of accommodations—from standard dorm rooms to apartment-style living with private kitchens and bathrooms, particularly on the 10th floor and above. However, challenges include insufficient laundry facilities and small, occasionally unkempt community bathrooms. Stearns West Hall's blend of solitude and social opportunities makes it a unique place to live, especially for those open to the experience.
