CONGRATUALTIONS if you\u2019ve been accepted to COM, also known as the most spectacular place to receive a degree in the field of communication. In my book, that\u2019s not an exaggeration.\u00a0 One year I received my own acceptance letter, I know just how pumped you are to be one step closer to joining the next generation of film directors, PR professionals, journalists, and creative directors.\u00a0 You should definitely be proud.\u00a0 You might even be #proudtobu.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re one of the high school seniors who received a thick envelope and are seriously thinking about attending COM, make sure to check us out at our Open Houses April 12th<\/sup> and April 19th<\/sup>.\u00a0 If you\u2019re unable to make those dates, you can take a tour of COM any weekday at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm.\u00a0 And, if you can\u2019t to meet us at those times, I\u2019m writing today to answer one of the most common questions I\u2019ve received guiding tours: Where should I choose to live as a freshman?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you decide to become a BU student, the next step is filling out a housing interests survey.\u00a0 On it, you\u2019ll rank your top housing choices and choose a meal plan.\u00a0 But which ones should be your top choices?\u00a0 Here\u2019s a current first year\u2019s take on some of your possible freshman residence options.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Warren Towers:<\/strong> Many freshmen in COM live here, since it\u2019s right next-door to the COM building.\u00a0 If you\u2019re the type to roll out of bed and into class, this is probably the dorm for you.\u00a0 There are also major-specific floors where COM students can live and learn together. It\u2019s in the center of campus, amid Comm. Ave. excitement. There\u2019s a Starbucks, a CityCo, and a Jamba Juice at street-level of the dorm.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n West Campus<\/strong>: Located adjacent to Nickerson Field, the three dorms on West Campus have less of a city vibe and their own sense of community, although they are somewhat removed.\u00a0 Some students in West enjoy the walk home from classes and proximity to FitRec, our gym, and restaurants such as Canes or BugerFi.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Towers:<\/strong> Nothing compares to living on Bay State Road, lined with its trees and brownstones, where this residence is located.\u00a0 The Towers dorm is near SMG, SED, and relatively close to CAS.\u00a0 It has single-sex floors, some of which are major-specific.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kilachand Hall<\/strong>: If you plan to be a freshman in the Kilachand Honors College, this is where you\u2019ll live.\u00a0 You may even have a class or two within the building. Also on Bay State Road, it is directly across the street from my personal favorite dining hall, Marciano Commons.\u00a0 There is a newly renovated study lounge on the first floor, as well as a study lounge on the ninth floor with great views of the Charles River and downtown Boston.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hope this gives a bit more insight, and I hope to meet you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CONGRATUALTIONS if you\u2019ve been accepted to COM, also known as the most spectacular place to receive a degree in the field of communication.
