Northwest UConn Reviews

Northwest is probably the best area for Freshmen to live in. Anyone is allowed to live here but I feel like a lot of freshmen do. It's a 10 min walk from the center of campus which isn't bad at all. The rooms here are about 151 sq ft which is not that big but not too small. The desks in the room are... See more

Northwest is probably one of the cleanest quads in freshman housing. I was in Rogers hall, and the bathrooms were the cleanest of any residence hall I visited. The rooms are a bit small--but they compensate with hutch desks. Lofting is not permitted because the ceilings are rather low. The buildings... See more

Lived here throughout my 4 years at UConn. Decent dining hall, great location for STEM majors, and overall decent looking. Would be better if all rooms at AC (lucked out junior and senior years, both had AC)

Lived here my freshman and sophomore year because I was a member of the pre-pharmacy learning community. The rooms are really nice but the heaters are on full blast in the winter. It was really nice to be near two dining halls and have options, plus northwest serves late night. You are also really c... See more

I really enjoyed living here my freshmen year. Not really any complaints other than the bathrooms being kinda dirty most of the time, but that depends on who lives on your floor. Being right next to northwest dining hall is the best thing about living at northwest: great food, open late, and close t... See more

I lived in Rogers. Private bathrooms are only located on the first floor. The ones in the other floors are not private, but they're very clean and pleasant to be in. Rooms kind of sucked, they weren't very spacious, and the building (rooms included) was often filled with ladybugs. It's a bit of a wa... See more
