<p>where do the majority of transfers live on campus? any insight into which to apply for?</p>
<p>That's changed as of next fall so it's hard to say. Transfers were mostly put in the Hyatt but the school has made an effort to get current students to select the Hyatt. I don't know if it was all selected or not. </p>
<p>BU is trying to get people who plan to study overseas, for example, to pick the Hyatt. Also people who have low housing numbers for their year, because if you live in the Hyatt you get moved to the top of your year's picks for the 2nd term. Since a lot of people move in and move out each term, it means getting a very good choice 2nd term. I think another element is that some people were jealous that transfers could spend a semester in the Hyatt and then get the best rooms. </p>
<p>So . . . beats me.</p>
<p>As to where to apply, assuming you have to fill out a housing survey like all incoming people do, then you should research the dorms. A lot depends on your college. There are dozens of threads about housing. One resource is [url=<a href="http://www.bu.edu/union/backdoor/%5Dthis%5B/url">http://www.bu.edu/union/backdoor/]this[/url</a>].</p>
<p>Based on what students that have been through the housing process have said, it looks like the Hyatt has filled up during housing selection. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all freshmen and transfers are on campus. I'm going to be a senior at BU and am living offcampus so I guess it doesn't effect me, but I've seen how a bad housing experience can put a tarnish on an otherwise great first year.</p>
<p>Anyways. It's looking good that it'll be on campus. That being said, Warren Towers is a great place to meet people and it's where I lived freshman year. West Campus is also great for meeting people especially if you are in CGS, CFA, or SHA. Towers and 575 Commonwealth are also larger dorms with populations that are eager to make friends. But Warren and west are definately my two top choices for you.</p>
<p>depends what year u are too. warren, west, and towers are the best places for freshmen and the best places to meet people, but the students there are mostly freshmen and some sophomores.</p>
<p>I will be a junior</p>
<p>I'll be a second-semester sophomore (I took a semester off.) I think I would prefer living with both transfer students and current sophomores or juniors.</p>
<p>myles, shelton, and 575 are also big dorms that have lots of sophomores and juniors. bay state, south campus, and commonwealth brownstones are smaller dorms that have lots of sophomores and juniors.</p>
<p>and by big and small, i'm referring to how many people in each building, not the room sizes.</p>
<p>If you're in CAS or ENG or COM or SED - not SHA or CFA - then you likely would prefer not to live in West Campus because that's farther. Not essential and the huge FitRec is in West but that's sort of rule of thumb.</p>
