Hey that's awesome that you go to BU too!! although idk when we're even gonna get to BE in BU housing, my friend told me we might be doing Zoom Uni until beginning spring. UGH.

thank you so much for this

Thank u for this very helpful vlog especially during this time. My son is a junior and will be applying to BU in the fall so he’s been doing virtual tours online.

Andie Lim thank u from a fellow BU alumni. That’s what brought me here from your day in the life. Lived and worked Boston for 10 years and both my husband and I went to BU SDM in the 90s. Living in WNY now. Hopefully my son decides on BU for ED1.

thank you so much for this vid

Hi! I'm a little late on this video but I go to BU too! I sometimes see you walking down comm. ave and I've always wanted to stop you and say hi but i've always been too awkward/running late to do so. Thank you for these videos!

Ah! I love that! Please don't feel awkward! I love it when people say hi! Hopefully I'll see you around next semester!

So let’s say I’m an inc9ming freshman at Sargent, what housing possibilities would I have?

This is a long shot considering that the video is from last year.. but I going to be studying my master's in BU starting on July. I was wondering if you could recommend me locations / apartment names for off-campus housing. Thanks in advance

Haha watched this to learn about Kilachand and I laughed so hard when she said she didn't know anything.

i’m so excited!!! since i’m in the honors college i’m assuming i’ll be in the Kilachand hall

Thank you for your video. I'm a prospective PhD student and will be moving to Boston in September. Do you have idea about graduate on- campus housing? If you could make video for incoming graduate students? That would really help.

thank you so much for making this video! i'm an incoming freshman and trying to decide housing and meal plan. btw, what meal plan did you have as a freshman and which one would you recommend ? also, my family home is like 30 min from campus (ie i'll be going home at least every other weekend i think)

Ah congrats!!!! So I know that there's this meal plan hack where you can get extra dining points. I tried it out my sophomore year and it worked! So you start off with the 330 meal plan and after a few weeks before you can't change it, switch to the 250 meal plan. Just keep switching back and forth until you're able to get the most dining points. I think you do have to wait a few days in between each switch though. But if you don't want to do that it really depends on where you think you'll be eating more. If you'll be eating more in the GSU with dining points, I recommend 330 or 250. If you're planning to eat more in dining halls then I recommend the 14+ or unlimited!

hi!! i'm an admitted sophomore transfer and I was wondering about the bay state brownstones and how easy it is to get into one of those as a sophomore/transfer?

@AndieLim

4 жыл бұрын

I'm not exactly sure how easy it is. It really depends on how many continuing students decided to live there and if there are any openings. My little was a sophomore transfer and she was able to live in one. Her roommate was also a sophomore transfer. I hope this helps!

this was so helpful tysmmm!!! im class of 2025 and i havent committed yet and i rly wanna live in west, do u know if spots fill up quickly in west?? im worried i wont be able to get a dorm there

I don’t know exactly how the freshman housing process goes because it’s kinda random. But I will say fill out your housing application as soon as possible!

I'm still confused 😭😭

i saw that you mentioned distance a lot for the campuses. are you allowed to ride a bike to your classes or is there like a policy against that?

@AndieLim

You can totally ride your bike! There are bike racks everywhere around campus. Students also ride skateboards and scooters!

where do you recommend for housing as a sophomore transfer student, very social dorm

@AndieLim

I think honestly, anything in West campus is going to be the most social!

so if i am in the cas i should look towards living in warren towers over west campus? did i get that right

@AndieLim

3 жыл бұрын

Not necessarily! Im in CAS and I lived in west all 4 years! It really depends on what you're looking for socially! West campus is closer to sports games and frats, so it's a bit more social. Warren is closer to Boston

I dislike paying for University and not being allowed to physically be on campus for classes. Great video, anyway.

I'm an old alum here, but can't freshmen be placed in Myles, HoJo, 1019, and Danielson as well?

I would have to say West personally because if you're looking to go to frat parties, Allston is where they're all at. And west campus is right next to Allston

Are the three warren towers close to each other?

yes! Warren Towers is just one giant building, so it's really easy to get from one tower to the other!

Isn't Bay State the Brownstones? What about HOJO, Danielsen, 1019, Myles Standish? Didn't hear you mention them. My cousin went to BU. Spent many weekends there lol

@AndieLim

Bay State and Brownstones are synonymous to each other at BU. In regards to the other dorms, I only included the ones that are popular to freshmen. The dorms that you mentioned aren't as popular to freshmen as the ones I mentioned. Also please keep in mind that this video is my thoughts and perspective of the BU housing as someone who attends BU.

@@AndieLimoh no no. Your video just showed up on my feed lol. I was just curious. Not judging or anything. I just remember hearing of those dorms a lot when I used to visit.

What about bike like where would you put your bike if you had one

@AndieLim

There are bike racks all over campus! And a lot of dorms have bike rooms where you can store your bike if you don't want to put it on the bike rack!

is myles standish or like danielsen hall open for freshman?

@AndieLim

3 жыл бұрын

I believe so! I know a few freshman who lived there but it’s not that popular for freshman to live. I’d recommend either west or Warren to get the full freshman experience

Is Myles Standish also an option? Can freshman live there?

@AndieLim

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, but most do not. If a freshman ends up in Myles, it's usually because they went random, but it's very rare for freshman to end up in Myles

First time I hear "Maracino" I think it's Marciano?

Not usually. It's actually very rare that freshman would get a single room, but with the current Covid-19 pandemic, I wouldn't be surprised if BU would put them in single rooms.
