Aspen Village Dorm Reviews at BYU Idaho

It's a good place to stay if you need something cheap. They have multiple problems that I am contemplating reporting to BYUI, one of which is that when they switched managers, they gave letters to at least half of the students saying that they hadn't paid their security deposits or rent for the full semester. The thing is that we all had paid... they told us all in the letter that we had 3 days to either pay through the online portal or be kicked out with a fine. It was Friday evening. 3 hours before closing, and they weren't open on the weekends. 3 days? We didn't have 3 days, even if it was technically considered that. We all ended up waiting in the office waiting area for the full 3 hours after knocking on the office door. The manager was in a meeting, and we were told she'd be a minute. By the time there were only 10 minutes until closing, she snuck out of the office, and ran out the door... we were all dumbfounded. There was someone left in the office, but it was the girl who was just hired 3 weeks ago and had no idea what to do. I feel bad for her because not everyone was very nice about the complex trying to charge us double for housing that semester... I don't blame them for being mad (I was too), but honestly, the manager really shouldn't have dumped her problem on the new girl. The rooms are okay though. My roommates and ward were good too... its right across the street from the Ricks, so it's also in the perfect location for psych majors. I suppose it is also a good place to psychoanalyze management too? ;-;

It's the cheapest place to stay on campus and it definitely shows. That being said, it's by no means a terrible place to live. If you're living on a budget and you're okay going without all the bells and whistles of a college apartment, then Aspen Village is the place for you.

Aspen was a great first place for me to live at University. It was comfortable and reminded me of home. The staff was always really kind and ready to help. The rooms were a good size and I was lucky enough to room with my two friends.

It's affordable, but you get what you pay for. It is nice. Neighbors are all quiet and friendly. Laundry rooms are dirty. The kitchen is tiny. The front room is always cold. There is mold in some of the corners but a little bleach gets rid of it pretty well.

I enjoy the free WiFi and laundry facilities. I’m not a big fan of the hot cole hot cold showers or maintenance of the bathtubs but it is cheap. The cinderblock walls help me feel safe. Most of all, I enjoy how close the apartment building is to the Temple of Jesus Christ.

These are some of the older apartments in town so they are a little more on the cheap side. They are right across the street from campus and almost everything is within walking distance. If you don't have a car there is a Walmart shuttle that will drop you off at the Aspen Village office.

I lived in an updated apartment, which seems to have more storage and a cleaner and more modern look. There was a mold problem, which the staff tried to fix by spraying special mold remover on moldy areas throughout all of the apartments. I lived there in the Winter, and our heater often left my roommates and me freezing. It is located on a hill, so you you will have to walk up it to get back to your apartment. For the price, it is a decent apartment with some nice amenities, such as a pool table, table tennis, a pool, and a movie theatre. Overall, it is a decent apartment, but there are better options near campus.
