<p>Is there any way to see an actual room of your hall and not just the general one? Also do some halls have gyms in them?</p>
<p>I’m in a triple in Hardey, incase any one has insight on that.</p>

<p>Hmm, try to look on Facebook for a dorm group.
For my dorm, someone in the group visited and posted pictures of it. Do you want me to post some of them here?</p>
<p>Yea we have a grp. No luck though there. Sure post some, plz if possible.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>The triple is actually very spacious, you’ll have a ton of room in the middle. I don’t believe there are actual pictures of the dorms available unless you look them up on facebook groups or do some deep digging. </p>
<p>None of the dorms have gyms in them, but there is cardio equipment in Vanderslice and a couple of other buildings. If you want a real gym, you’d have to go to the plex (Quonset Hut is garbage).</p>
<p>damnn, that sucks about the gym.
Good news about the triple though, thanks.</p>
<p>Another question. How much can you rearrange the triples on newton? can you like make a common area or something?</p>
<p>You can do whatever you want to your room, provided you don’t damage anything.</p>
<p>However, you can’t have a futon or anything… they’ll confiscate it. Tried that…</p>
<p>well that suckssss ^^</p>
<p>Hi, a couple random questions…i am in a forced triple and was wondering if we are allowed to keep only one desk in our room instead of three (space saver!)? Also, i heard memory foam toppers aren’t allowed…do they check your beds to see if you actually have one?</p>
<p>According to this ([Facilities</a> & Furnishings - Office of Residential Life - Boston College](<a href=“http://www.bc.edu/offices/reslife/lifeinhalls/residencehalls/furnishings.html]Facilities”>http://www.bc.edu/offices/reslife/lifeinhalls/residencehalls/furnishings.html)), you’re not allowed to take furniture out of your room because the school has no place to store it
And I have no idea why memory foam toppers wouldn’t be allowed… I don’t think they would really check for that kind of thing.</p>
<p>I don’t think they’re allowed and they do actually do checks randomly. Unfortunately, some people had theirs taken away and had to find a mattress in the middle of the semester. I’m sure some people get away with it though. Honestly, just get a feather mattress. My roommate and I both used one and the RD said it was fine. Also they’re really comfortable Unless of course the feather mattress is too expensive, I just used mine from home. I guess if its too expensive just take the risk of the foam mattress.</p>
<p>When burned, foam emits fumes that are extremely toxic to your body. It’s another one of BC’s fire precautions.</p>
