East, West, or South Campus?
It’s March, which means students planning to live on campus next year are scrambling to complete the room selection process. As any Terrier will tell you, each part of campus has its own advantages and its own fans. Some prefer the convenience of Bay State Road or Warren Towers—closer to classes—but for others it’s West Campus—closer to BU’s athletic facilities and the hustle and bustle of Allston’s nightlife. Then there are those who opt for the quieter life of an apartment off Park Drive in South Campus.
While it’s neither as precarious as the Sorting Hat of Hogwarts nor as monumental as choosing a major, deciding where to live is an important part of college life. So we sent our roving camera out to query students about which part of campus they prefer to call home—and why. See if you agree.
What part of campus is, or was, your favorite? Tell us in the Comment section below.
