StuVi1 (10 Buick Street) is hailed as one of the best on-campus living options at Boston University, praised for its premium amenities and strategic location. Each apartment houses four single bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sizable living area, and a well-equipped kitchen, making it ideal for those who value privacy and space. The accommodations are air-conditioned and fully furnished, delivering comfort and convenience. The building features multiple study lounges, a café on the ground floor, and enjoys proximity to fitness centers, shops, and eateries like Dunkin' Donuts and Buick St Market directly on-site. Despite its many advantages, some students noted the room sizes could be restrictive and the building could benefit from updates and maintenance responsiveness. The residence is particularly appreciated for its relatively quiet environment compared to other dorms, making it a preferred choice for mature, studious individuals. Positioned within walking distance of central campus and public transport, StuVi1 provides both a picturesque Charles River view and a cozy, high-quality college living experience.

Best place to live on campus hands down. 4 singles with 2 bathrooms and a shared kitchen per apartment. We had a corner room so the living room is huge. The apartment's fully furnished, and air-conditioned. There are plenty of lounges/study spaces and 24-hour security. Around a 10 min walk to centra...

Lived here my Senior year in 2016-2017. Had a double apartment. Was awesome. Super quiet building and obviously while rooms are smaller - I loved the coziness. Spent a lot of time studying in my room because of how nicely quiet it was. Now, I'm not sure if they have updated appliances/bathrooms si...

Best physical location on campus. Best for mature, independent students who prefer to cook. Definitely not a "loud" dorm like West or Stuvi II are - it's quiet and studious.

Definitely the best dorm I've stayed in on campus - things are really nice and the environment is cozy. It feels less pretentious than StuVi 2 and it's much quieter. Two people per bathroom is really great, and the views are incredible.

By far the best dorm I had at BU! I had a 4 person apartment style dorm with 2 bathrooms. Although StuVi 2 is a bit newer and has better views, they usually only have 1 bath for 4 rooms. The room was a little smaller than I expected but manageable, especially because the suite has a common area. The...

Hands down the best residence hall at BU. It’s gorgeous and has 1 bathrooms per every 2 people(2 in each 4 person apartment). Quiet and much better than stuvi2 which is so elitist. Only downside is there’s no mail room.

Basically the nicest building you will ever be able to afford. AMAZING view of the city, you have a Dunkin downstairs. Each apt has 4 singles (some 2 singles) and a huge living room. If you're able to finesse a corner, you are set. You have everything you would ever need in this building. Underlassm...

An amazing dorm with great amenities (Dunkin Donuts in the building) and ideal location. It's relatively quiet compared to StuVi2, but the individual rooms are pretty small. Other than that, I'd definitely recommend living here!

My room had two seperate rooms with kitchen/bathroom access without disturbing another person, though theres either 1/2 of those rooms per floor. No sound issues, no plumbing issues, was able to keep to myself, though I could use a door (one room has a door, one a curtain). Good amount of space com...

Apartments are great with enough space and great views. Rooms are small, but big enough for one person and there is the living room for entertaining anyway. I loved the location because if you can't make it on the bus, the walk isn't terrible, T stop right outside, close to Allston, FitRec, CVS, Tar...
