It's nice to have a kitchen, but don't be fooled when it claims there's a 'living room'. Basically they mean they plopped an old couch down in the kitchen. All the same, it's a fun socializing room. The cement block walls with layers of old paint are ugly as heck so bring lots of pictures and posters and things to cover it up as best you can :P The location is extremely nice!! The ward was not so much fun because there's about three girls to every guy. Ditzy, stupid, desperate freshman girls throwing themselves at the sparse population of the male species. Girls like that drive me insane. So I went off campus for the social stuff. :P It was nice to have the creamery so close by, though.

I had a blast in Heritage Halls as a freshman. Everyone was so tight-knit and were always looking out for each other. We had an amazing RA who was basically payed by BYU to help us with any problems and to adjust to campus life. Everything she did was in our best interest. I also participated in a freshman academy and was able to live with people who were in most of my classes, which helped out a lot when it came to homework. I would recommend Heritage to any incoming freshman. It was an amazing experience and I loved it.

Heritage is a great place to start at BYU. You pretty much cannot get closer to campus. (Soooo convenient) Parking can be very difficult, and often people are illegally parked making it hard to get in a out of the lots. There are lots of activities always going on and people are usually very inclusive. The downside? The entirety of Heritage Halls starting Fall 2007 is comprised of Freshman. If you want immature starter singles' wards, go here. Else wise, I'd just take a trip to the south side of campus and look at apartments there.

Amazing for a freshman...otherwise you should stay away.

There are upper-classmen wards for those who aren't freshmen, I was in one of those and most people were sophomores or juniors, some seniors and a few freshmen.
But since BYU started giving out parking passes free, more people brought cars and parking got worse.
Having the school for a landlord is a plus, though, because you won't be cheated out of money over hidden costs and school maintenance responds to calls.

Heritage is a good place to start off if you want to be on campus. You have multiple roommates and can cook your own food and have visitors over. They're really strict about honor code stuff there though. Sometimes it's also hard to find good parking. And people tend to be really immature, but there's always social activities going on.

Heritage Halls is a generally considered a quality pad for freshmen because they know they're going to be surrounded with a bunch of other freshmen that are new to the college scene. It's right next campus, so no driving to school. If you like loud cackily 18-year-old girls that won't sleep 'till they make you cookies or invite you to FHE, this is the place. On the other hand, if you're looking for a place to chill and choose an optional social life, stay away.
