<p>To all of those who already here at BU, I have a question on housing. </p>
<p>I’m an SMG student and I live in West right now(sucks I know) but for next year I want to move to the east part of campus. I have visited myles and decided I don’t want to live there so right now I’m stuck between Shelton, a brownstone, and Towers.</p>
<p>I’m looking for a kind of experience where I can really get to know my floormates and etc. Does anyone live in a brownstone or shelton right now? If so, how close are you to your floormates/housemates? Do you know them just on a name basis or do you do a lot of things with them? I live in west and everyone seems to go out to parties every weekend but I’m just not that kind of person hahah(lame huh?)</p>
<p>I know this is a really subjective question but your inputs would greatly be appreciated! I know it’s also kind of a luck thing to get people on your floor that may be similar to others. Thanks again for all your help!</p>
<p>I’ve had friends live in Shelton and they became close with a few other suites on their floor. Towers is probably more social because it is more freshman-based (though a lot of sophmores still live there), but this varies depending on the floor. Brownstones vary from being a social house to being completely quiet. I’d suggest that you apply to specialty housing for a more social brownstone. </p>
<p>For the experience you are looking for, I’d suggest Shelton and maybe Towers. And I wouldn’t rule out Myles since it has the same social aspects as Shelton (though IMO Shelton is nicer). Good luck with housing!</p>
