West Village C Reviews
Northeastern University
Reviews Summary
West Village C is a notable upgrade for many students on campus, offering spacious and modern living accommodations. The dorm features extensive windows, often floor-to-ceiling, providing breathtaking views, especially from the top floors. While the apartments are well-designed and roomy, they come with three separate thermostats, a welcome feature for customizing temperatures in different rooms. However, bathrooms are shared, typically one for every five residents, which has been manageable, though a bit challenging at times. The location is strategic, being a mere five-minute walk from Ruggles and close to popular spots like Centennial and Smallastons. Kitchens, though somewhat dated, offer ample cabinet space, and the inclusion of a full kitchen and living room adds to the homely feel. Students have noted slow elevators and occasional maintenance issues like leaks, but the prime view and central location make West Village C a preferred choice, especially for sophomores seeking both comfort and convenience in campus living.

I had a terrible freshman dorm so West C was a MASSIVE upgrade. The building itself is really nice and the apartments are all very spacious. We might have had one of the best apartments in the building as it was bigger than any other on campus apartments I’ve seen. Our living room walls were entirely windows and we are on the top floor the the view was amazing. Our apartment for 5 people had 3 separate thermostats which allowed us to make different rooms different temperatures.
There are only a few negatives I have: we only had 1 bathroom for 5 people which got a little tricky but wasn’t as much of an issue as we thought it would be. My room had one wall that was entirely windows and it was facing the east, so the sun would heat up my room...

Elevators were super slow and somewhat sketchy, had to call facilities a few times for leaks.

IMO this is the best dorm option for sophomores. The rooms and furniture were simple and the kitchen was fairly basic but having access to a full kitchen + living room was very nice. I was pleasantly surprised by how much cabinet space the kitchen had. The best thing about this dorm is probably the location. It is a 5 minute walk from Ruggles and is right across from centennial and smallastons.

I lived in a three single, one double (five total) apartment that looked out to Wollaston's. It had floor to ceiling windows which were absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was dated but spacious, and clean. The bathrooms were fine, just super dated. Everything worked for the most part. The furniture was the same as the rest of dorm furniture, it was kinda dated but worked. I rate highly mostly because the view and location was perfect.

I lived in a 5 person apartment (3 singles, 1 double). The living room/kitchen area was spacious and I liked the layout a lot.
