As the semester spirals to a close small letters plague university mailboxes announcing housing selection dates and times. Last year I panicked at the notice reminding me that I needed to choose a new residential area BUT there are so many cool housing options. Here\u2019s what I consider the top four places to live if you want to neighbor COM:<\/p>\n<p>1. Warren Towers- One of the largest resident halls in the country, Warren is probably the most convenient choice. A bit more of a community oriented environment Warren typically houses a vast majority of underclassmen. Major Pros: It\u2019s a brisk 3-minute walk directly to COM.<\/p>\n<p>2. 575 Commonwealth \u2013 Nearing the newly opened dining hall and resource center, Marciano Commons, this larger dormitory typically called \u2018HOJO\u2019 has a bit classier sway. The room types, like many larger dormitories, range from singles, doubles, and triples but all have private bathrooms. Most students choice this residence due to its history of being a former hotel.<\/p>\n<p>3. Kilachand Hall- Formerly known as Shelton Hall is probably the most central dormitory in terms of being near Fenway, Newbury, and COM. Most students select this dorm due to its suite-like structure. Although many adore the view from the Student Village residences located in west campus the study lounge of Kilachand has a remarkable view of the river as well.<\/p>\n<p>4. Nearing Brownstones- although applying for specialty community residence is a separate process you won\u2019t be disappointed. Students usually apply for residences that envelope their passion or interest (For instance there are language houses and a common ground house).<\/p>\n<p>Again, there are so many options to choose from. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/housing\/\">BU Housing<\/a> page provides a fantastic interactive tour of residences that you should also check out!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello again!
