There\u2019s rarely a quiet moment in Warren Towers 11C, and we wouldn\u2019t want it any other way. <\/span><\/p>\n

A hidden gem in BU are its specialty community residence floors. When I applied for housing in the summer before Freshman year, I checked off a box that I\u2019d be interested in specialty housing for the College of Communications. I didn\u2019t realize it then, but that decision has had a HUGE impact on my time at BU so far. <\/span><\/p>\n

Through the COM floor I\u2019ve discovered so many opportunities, made lifelong friends, and had countless unforgettable experiences. So when you\u2019re trying to decide where to live during your first year on campus, I\u2019d highly recommend you check off that box. Here\u2019s why.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Your neighbors become your best friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The COM floor gives you the unique opportunity to become best friends with the people you live with. Before coming to BU, I was worried that the other students on my floor would never be more than strangers. But I\u2019m happy to say that my neighbors are some of my closest friends! <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

2. There aren\u2019t just COM kids!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Surprisingly, the COM floor does not only have COM students. There are premed students, political science majors, and even a few who are undecided. Because of this, there is always a diverse range of perspectives and ideas!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Movie nights are a common occurrence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Living with Film & Television students has its perks. Movie nights happen almost every weekend, and there are always in depth conversations about shot composition, lighting, and sound. Last weekend we watched Call me by Your Name (we cried).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

4. There are always new opportunities to get involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The residents of 11C are always moving and staying active all around BU. Friends on my floor are involved in COM driven clubs like BUTV10, WTBU, and The Daily Free Press, as well as Stage Troupe and BU On Broadway, two theater organizations on campus. <\/span><\/p>\n

This semester, I even started a radio show on WTBU with friends from my floor. It\u2019s called sadboi hours, and we play music that gets us in our feels. (Check us out on WTBU on Sundays from 12-2AM!)<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. There\u2019s always someone available to help on a project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whenever I have trouble on a project, I can look across the hallway and find someone ready and willing to help out. Production assistants are never far away!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

There you have it! Living on the COM floor has been a great experience so far and I\u2019d highly recommend it. So take a chance and check that box!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
