<p>What is the best dorm at BC? Is it better to be on Newton or Upper? I will be a freshman next year.</p>
<p>Upper is actually on the campus, although Newton isn't on the main campus(and you have to take a bus ride there...THINK about waiting for a bus in the BOSTON winter) they say it has a tight community feel. Upper is obviously more desirable Also if you put upper as ur #1 and they send you to newton(due to capacity) they will refund you some money i think. Go visit the campus to see which one you like better</p>
<p>Edit: I think the % of freshman of each campus is pretty close, Upper is a lot larger though</p>
<p>They won't refund you any money for that. You pay less if you have a forced triple, which can only occur on upper.</p>
<p>The issue of Newton vs. Upper comes up on these boards frequently. I put several links in a recent post discussing this:</p>
<p>The bottom line is that this decision is a matter of personal choice -- one is not obviously better than the other. Some students prefer Upper but many students put Newton as their first choice.</p>
