This weekend I moved into a new dorm.\u00a0 It was a whirlwind week of packing, and unpacking, going from the one Residence Assistant Office to another and calling the BU Housing Office.\u00a0 But all said and done I\u2019m absolutely in love with my new room.\u00a0 I\u2019m now living in a brownstone on Baystate Road.\u00a0 My room is on the backside of the house and my window looks onto the Charles River and the Esplanade.\u00a0 Because of my class and work schedule, living on the east side of campus is much more convenient than living in West Campus.\u00a0 Each student is different- the girl that moved out of this room swapped with me so she could live in West Campus to be closer to the gym and her friends that lived over there.<\/p>\n
The process I went through to move part way through a semester is called a Pull-In and works like this- If there is a vacancy in a room anywhere on campus then whoever is currently living in that room can \u201cpull-in\u201d someone to fill the vacancy.\u00a0 In my case my friend was the one moving and introduced me to her former roommate.\u00a0 We got along really well and she agreed to pull me into the room.\u00a0 (You can find more information about this and other room change processes at http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/housing\/<\/a>.)<\/p>\n I had a ton of help from my new housemates to move my things from one end of campus to the other.\u00a0 Of course I picked the coldest day of the semester so far to move, but they were troopers and I\u2019m so grateful for them.\u00a0 To move everything I rented a big yellow moving bin from the Residence Assistant office at my new dorm. They are available all year for moving and especially at the beginning and end of the year for move-ins and move-outs.\u00a0 Then we took it to west campus to load it up and pushed it all the way back up Commonwealth Ave to Baystate.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure we looked like a traveling circus act.\u00a0 After that all I had to do was unpack and decorate my new room.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to finish out the semester on Baystate.\u00a0 It already feels like home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This weekend I moved into a new dorm.\u00a0 It was a whirlwind week of packing, and unpacking, going from the one Residence Assistant Office to another and calling the BU Housing Office.\u00a0 But all said and done I\u2019m absolutely in love with my new room.\u00a0 I\u2019m now living in a brownstone on Baystate Road.\u00a0 My … Continue reading Abby: Trans-Campus Moving<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2018,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[44302,7270],"tags":[44321,6953,44322],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1391"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2018"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1391"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1392,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1391\/revisions\/1392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
