Best dorm to live in as a transfer?

<p>I am completing my housing application for BU since I am transferring this fall and was wondering which dorm you would consider the best to be in?</p>

<p>I am a girl and am hoping to live in a single dorm. I want to know which dorms are considered the most ‘luxurious’ (besides student village because I can’t live there as a transfer). I don’t want somewhere that is completely isolated from the main party scene. </p>

<p>So far I have been looking at west campus.</p>

<p>Any opinions on which dorm you would choose and why?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I am completing my housing survey too and I dont know what choices to put. It really would help if someone gave some tips.</p>

<p>The West Campus dorms might be a good place for a transfer student, as it’s not entirely upperclassmen and anti-social like some of the other dorms are. A lot of the nicer dorms are suites or apartments, which might be slightly awkward to live in as most of those are usually filled with people who already know each other and picked the rooms together. </p>

<p>But, the rooms in west campus aren’t particularly nice either, more of the standard freshmen type thing. If you can get a single, they’re decent. It is near the party scene though, and near most off campus apartments. </p>

<p>You can also try to get a single in any of the brownstones on bay state, south, or east campus, but again I’m not sure if those are very likely to get as they go quickly in selection and I don’t know how many they save for transfers/freshmen</p>

<p>In terms of luxuriousness, I’d probably rank the big dorms as Stuvi I and II, 1019 Comm Ave, Shelton/Kilachand Hall, Myles, Hojo, Towers, West, Warren. If you want a single in one of the better dorms, you’re gonna have to be rather lucky - I’m not sure myles or Shelton actually have any singles not in a suite. You’d be most likely to get one in Towers or Hojo I think.</p>

<p>I would go with West Campus, you might still be able to get a single. There’s more upperclassmen both in those dorms and in the surrounding area, and its closer to the party scene.</p>
