"This was prob cause of covid but I randomly got assigned at the Sargent College House with one roommate to a triple. The room was hella spacious and tons of light and windows, windows a bit old and broken sometimes but other than that noice. The area in general is really quiet and nice it sucks that the Sargent college house is like a 7ish min walk from the Marciano dining hall but the building in general is really nice. Lived on the 3rd floor so kinda annoying with stairs bc no elevator and washer/dryers are in the basement. You also have to take out the trash in the back of the building so that gets a little annoying to go all the way outside everytime. Bathrooms were cleaned daily and our floors shower broke for a week or two but it got fixed and it works fine now. I know there is a kitchen on the first floor in the RAs room but not sure if it’s used this yr."

"I love living in a brownstone, it's close to my classes and is close is distance to many good options in East/central campus. Shared bathrooms only with your roommates and cool common rooms. "

"Kilachand hall is a great dorm for first year students. It isn’t as good at Stuvi 1 or 2, but it’s much better than west or Warren. The rooms are well sized and clean. The only real downside is the location, as it is really far from west campus. "

"I lived in 728 comm Ave and I absolutely loved it. I lived in a double and had my own room. I have two cons to this place, there is a mouse problem in the building and there was a mouse in my room. Pest control came and covered the void but that hole was only covered up because a mouse had gotten in. Second con is that one person will get their own room but one person will get the living room next to the kitchen. This only applies to the DOUBLES. it was amazing to have my own room but sucked for my roommate. Overall, enjoyed it and it’s such a nice place to be right in the center of campus!"

"The building is one of the newest of BU’s dorms so the amenities are pretty good! The bathrooms are cleaned daily so they are often pretty clean, unless the occasional person leaves their stuff or paper towels. I’m in a triple and its really spacious! We have a lot of natural light coming in from big windows in the side too. The only downside is the dining hall closing early but the commute is not that bad its a pretty short walk! The Fenway campus is also located near a lot of food options, Target, and a supermarket."

"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"
Read 19 StuVi1 (10 Buick St) reviewsRated 4.5 / 5 stars by 14 BU students
"Suite style living is 8 sharing two relatively nice bathrooms with cleanliness dependent on occupants. Doubles are large, singles are reasonable, and common rooms can fit 6-8 comfortably, and parties up to 20-30. Shuttle service in front of building and dining hall close by, and a max 15 minute walk to CAS."

"Absolutely worth it! Myles has AC, shared kitchen and many more amazing installations in the building. The room is cool, I am in a double of a 4 persons suite. Had great time with my friends there. Even though you need to clean your own bathroom but the whole place is just amazing. "

"Love it. More modern compared to a lot of the old buildings in Boston. Fairly clean and pretty quiet. Really enjoyed living here. I will miss it. Only annoying thing was the constant fire alarms but whatever."
