Worst dorm at CU. Its ugly and far from campus and so inconvenient so get to classes and to go out. DONT REQUEST THIS DORM (unless you are weird and you like quiet lame stuff). Its so hard for me to go to my classes because its so far from campus that end up not going because it takes forever. Also the elevator SUCKS it takes forever and it smells like weirdos and one is usually broken. Good luck if you get stuck in the jail towers. I hate this dorm because as someone who likes to go out and party this dorm and sucks because it is so far and its filled with weird people. Also the laundry sucks because there is not enough washers and dryers for how many people that live in the Hell towers. Also the windows suck I have one small window in the...

I was lucky to get a very good sized double room. Aside from the building being slightly old, it worked great. The community bathrooms are small which keeps them private, I never had any issues! I was terrified to live in Will Vill, but I would now seek it out. I met all my best friends here, and the strong sense of community makes it very worth it.

i had an apartment style and it was super convenient!! the location and community was super great and it's right across from the dining hall and next to the bus stop. it's close to sprouts as well as cosmos and some other food places. the only negative honestly is being so far from campus but i would say it evens out, especially with the RAP classes that are at willvill! definitely a little harder to make friends but if you put yourself out there it's awesome!!

So idk about the regular rooms but 10th floor and above are all apartment styles, you get your own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room. Stearns central is really nice and the hall always has random little things going on. The only downside of living here was that it isn’t on main campus so you need to take the bus to get there, generally leaving 30 mins before your class starts let’s you get there on time. But will vill has their own dining hall, ups store, and gym so if you really don’t wanna take the bus for those things, you don’t have to!

Aside from location and the dreaded buff bus, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Met all my close friends on my floor and loved the size of the rooms and expansive grounds. Was also great having Sprouts across the street. Go WillVille!

This is probably one of the worst dorms on campus, but i still had a good time. The bathroom on my floor was very gross (ceiling paint chipping off, always very humid, etc.), but the rest of the floor was always kept very clean. My single dorm gave me plenty of space. Despite these things, I had a great time living in WillVill and loved the fact that I had some distance between where I slept and where my classes were. I met my best friends in this building, so try not to worry too much about your freshman year building.

We had a closet for a room. There wasn’t much community. It was like living in a soviet era apartment block. WillVill isn’t as bad as ppl say in terms of amenities and stuff but by god are the strains towers terrible.
