International Village Reviews

i like this dorms location but its very annoying to get a meal plan.
there are a lot of good places to eat

its pretty nice and spacious, the people are kind and i met some cool friends

I've been forcibly assigned to the tiny shit room in iv, I really hate this room. Very very small, bunk bed, no place to put your suitcase, no AC, no kitchen, forcibly meal plan and when two people try to get out, they get stuck because it's too narrow. The only good thing is that it is close to the campus.

Overall a solid building to live in, however I got a forced double and I cannot emphasize enough how it felt like sharing a prison cell. The lighting was dim, and we had almost no room to walk – much less two at a time. The bathroom was good and spacious though.

I probably would live in IV again as long as I don't get a forced double, and instead get a single or true double.

Lived in a double suite here during my freshman year. Doubles connected by own personal bathroom and also dining hall right downstairs. Some downsides are that it's a little far from everything else on campus and expensive compared with other dorms on campus but overall had a great experience here.

I really liked it, I had a single there and it was located in a pretty nice spot. Right next to ruggles and there was a dining hall downstairs. Also 2 laundry rooms which was insane. It also had a gym located on the 2nd floor but it was closed when I was there due to covid. Would highly recommend

I lived here for quarantine housing during Spring of 2022. The room itself is a bit narrow, but it is fine for one person living. Very clean, and quiet with a window for natural sunlight. The bathroom is connected to another room so you will have to share another person (doors locked from both sides when you click a button). Would recommend this room if you're living by yourself. IV cafeteria too!

Not community bathroom you get your own bathroom to share with ONE other person, clean building, study spaces, dining hall, and gym. VERY NICE PLACE TO LIVE. If you get IV freshmen year, you are living a life of luxury at NEU!

If you live in a single, it is REALLT nice. A little cramped but you get the whole room to yourself and have a bathroom you share with ONE person which is so much better than commuter bathrooms. IV has their own dining hall, study spaces, and gym so you do not have to walk far in the cold Boston winters for food, exercise, or a place to study. Best place to live freshmen yr imo

im in a forced double (so splitting a room made for one person with two people). it is VERY tight but works out because i like my roomate :) we barely have any free space though. it would definitely be risky to go random with iv "doubles" because theyre so small. our suitemates (random) are really loud which gets inconvenient late at night.

other than that iv as a building is super nice, the dining hall is considered the "best" on campus, and its all new and updated. i dont mind the location and the orange line (ruggles) is super convenient for getting into boston.
