I stayed there for the full 05/06 season, its cheap, basic and as clean you make it.
As has been said before who you share with makes a difference as to how much you enjoy it. but i think you can specify who you want to live with... ie a couple, guys only, girls only etc and they will try to find you space with that type.

Apart from the basic House buildings beside blackcomb, there is also slightly more expensive house buildings in Nordic(i think that's what its called) where you can rent like little flats, but those are usually reserved for couples, call/email them and ask.

There's also quite a nice block of flats in Brio that some friends lived with which was pretty nice, at least seemeed nicer than the Glacier block up on Blackcomb.
