Williams Village North Reviews

University of Colorado Boulder LLC

Reviews Summary

Williams Village North is renowned for being one of the most aesthetically pleasing and well-maintained dorms at BoCo. Situated 7-9 minutes from the main campus by bike, it offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of college life. Residents can conveniently catch the BuffBus, although its reliability is a common concern. Despite its distant location, the dorm boasts a superb dining hall and gym just a stone's throw away. The building's modern amenities include spacious elevators, communal kitchens, and vast common areas perfect for social events like ping-pong and Smash Bros tournaments. Each floor features study rooms, and every living suite is equipped with adjustable AC controls, enhancing the comfort level significantly. The rooms themselves are sizable and well-appointed, with options for singles, doubles, and shared bathrooms. However, cell reception is poor, and students are required to partake in additional programs. Proximity to tennis courts and engaging Will Vill activities contribute to a vibrant community life. Overall, Williams Village North offers a contemporary and dynamic residential experience despite some drawbacks.

Probably the nicest looking/cleanest dorm out of all the dorms in BoCo, 7-9 mins from campus on bike, but it always felt nice to feel like you're getting away from school when you're done for the day, Also had a routine student BuffBus that has synchronized times for pickup to the main campus. 1 min walk from the dining-hall. All of the rooms had AC controls (majority of others do not) as this dorm was the latest to be created, big parking lot, if you opt in to buy a parking pass, elevators are huge spacious, lounge/common area was enormous (a lot of ping-pong/piano/smash bros tournaments) Every floor has study room suite area, basically this place is epic and plenty to do outside amongst the other village dorms as well. The only downfal...

Lived in a double attached to another double with a private bathroom connecting the rooms. Building itself was nice, with a kitchen in the lobby, study rooms on each wing and lounges on each floor. Rooms were pretty big and nicer than most of the other dorms, plus you have your own dining hall and gym across a small field. Only downside is the location. The buff bus gets annoying really fast, it breaks down/is late often (Buff Bus Bad) and you have to leave for any main campus classes very early. You might also get tired of only having the dining hall and about two restaurants within walking distance.

Had a single that shared a bathroom with another. So kind of a double? The room unfortunately felt like a long hallway. I liked the window energy saving feature. Couldn’t have the heat on and the window open at the same time kind of deal. The shared bathroom felt huge. Although could’ve had more storage options.
The public amenities were great:communal kitchen, large common area on each level. Getting cell reception in that building sucked though. You also had to be forced into their program and required to take a class and pay for it or pay for drop the class but still be forced to pay for it. It’s also in the very back of will ville-But at least it was right next to the tennis courts and field. It was easier making friends here than it wa...

There is a study room on each wing; there are 3 wings on each floor. There are also several spacious classrooms on the main floor that can be used as study rooms when not occupied. Many toilets/showers (3 women’s and men’s in each wing and 1 unisex). There are lots of fun Will Vill activities to do throughout the year, and the dorm is extremely close to the dining hall/market and gym. Overall building is very modern and nice, and you can adjust AC/heat level in your room and also enjoy the good ventilation and air circulation throughout the room. Only con is that you have to ride the Buff Bus; you'd need to leave 30 min before your class starts.
