\"\"<\/a>Hey all! Hope you are all off to a wonderful start to the fall semester \u2013 I know my junior year went off with a bang of new activities, new faces and new responsibilities. Just in the past three weeks, I cast my BU On Broadway production of All Shook Up<\/em> (more to come on this in future blog posts!), we held the first annual #COMGames for freshmen, I started classes, and I applied to go abroad to London next semester. Lots of exciting things to begin \u2013 I\u2019m slightly overwhelmed but overall ecstatic and thrilled with an exciting semester.<\/p>\n

But easily the best part of moving in this semester was that I got to live at 33 Harry Agganis Way in Student Village (StuVi2, as we call it). I\u2019m living in a double with my friend Shane in an eight person suite on the 7th<\/sup> floor (overlooking the Charles River). While the thought of an eight person suite may seem daunting, StuVi2 is definitely the best living situation I\u2019ve been in yet.<\/p>\n

Here are my top reasons you should live in StuVi if you get the chance:<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

You always hear \u201cDon\u2019t judge a book by its cover.\u201d You 100% should judge StuVi by what it looks like because it is beautiful. My parents were awestruck by the lobby that makes you feel like you walked into a Marriott Hotel. When you get into the rooms, the good looks don\u2019t stop there. And like I mentioned earlier, the glorious view of the Charles through the large windows is certainly an amazing sight to wake up to in the morning.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Air-Conditioning<\/strong><\/p>\n

While campus never gets too hot in the fall, there is absolutely nothing like retreating under a blanket after a long day of classes and activities. And with the air conditioning, your room will always be cool to do so.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Space<\/strong><\/p>\n

The space in the rooms in StuVi is not to be believed. I\u2019m in a double room in StuVi but the amount of space we have makes us feel like we have two separate rooms and are just missing the wall that divides them. As they say in Step Brothers<\/em>, \u201cSo much room for activities!\u201d<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The BU Bus Stop<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is probably the greatest of the reasons. Picture Me: First day of class, dressed all nice, new shoes. And I walk outside, and it\u2019s raining. Obviously I was immediately distressed, but then when the BU Bus pulled up RIGHT IN FRONT of StuVi I was instantly relieved. I made it all the way to class without even getting a drop of rain on me. Talk about a wonderful place for a BU Bus Stop.<\/p>\n

I can go on and on with reasons, but I think you get the point. If you want to see more, definitely check out what BU Housing put together on StuVi and check it out yourself! http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/housing\/residences\/stuv\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
