Welcome to Campus Village B (CVB), where students have mixed feelings about their dorm experience. While the rooms are spacious with some offering nice views of campus or downtown life, there are concerns about shared bathrooms being inadequate for multiple occupants and cramped living conditions in triples. The building's amenities, including a pool and study lounge, are highlighted as positives, but outdated facilities and long wait times for elevators during rush hours are notable drawbacks. The convenience of individual apartments with kitchen and bathroom sharing options earns praise, yet challenges like limited maintenance access and small windows in first-floor apartments are mentioned. Overall, CVB provides a decent living space with opportunities for socializing and proximity to campus, but improvements in facilities and services could enhance the overall dormitory experience for residents.

Living in an apartment with 4 single rooms has been nice! I like having my own room and privacy. The kitchen and bathroom are small and basic, but get the job done for most needs.The location is great since my classes are only a 5 minute walk away in the business building.

Great location, only takes me 5-10 minutes to get to class. However, junior double is a very tiny room to be sharing wouldn’t recommend.

While kitchen appliances are not modern, they function good enough for most people's comfort. There are three elevators on both sides of the building, so...

Pros include having a kitchen and bathroom that you’re sharing with only 3-5 people. Cons include having to walk 10-15 mins across campus if classes are on the other side.

Pros: 10-15 minute walk to get anywhere on campus, shared common area, kitchen, and bathroom for 4-8 people. Cons: Difficult to access maintenance when things break, small windows for first floor apartments
