How far is west campus from the rest?

<p>Hi everybody!</p>

<p>I will be going to BU as a freshman this fall and I am looking at the different dorms. I have noticed that west campus is really nice but far from the rest of the city. How long does it take from the college of engineering to west campus walking?</p>

<p>About 20 minutes</p>

<p>[Unknown</a> road to College of Engineering, Boston, MA 02215 - Google Maps](<a href=“http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Unknown+road&daddr=boston+university+engineering&hl=en&geocode=FTw_hgIdosnC-w%3BFZYwhgId5grD-ym3GrIt93njiTHqD-t-_XpXRA&mra=atm&sll=42.349636,-71.100742&sspn=0.003076,0.004683&ie=UTF8&dirflg=w&z=16]Unknown”>http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Unknown+road&daddr=boston+university+engineering&hl=en&geocode=FTw_hgIdosnC-w%3BFZYwhgId5grD-ym3GrIt93njiTHqD-t-_XpXRA&mra=atm&sll=42.349636,-71.100742&sspn=0.003076,0.004683&ie=UTF8&dirflg=w&z=16)</p>

<p>Yep, about 20-30 depending on how fast you walk. You can always hop on the T though (You can easily hop on for free…illegally of course).</p>

<p>There is a BUS bus service every 15-20 minutes from West to East if you can wait. Walk is 15-20 mins max from West dorms to CAS. There are definitely nice perks to living in West, but I personally wouldn’t just because of the walk. You have a gym 5 mins away, great food (seriously), and a ton of party kids over there. ENG is like 5 mins from CAS so just add that time. You <em>might</em> be more serious about work living in Warren just because I am sure that most of the engineers are there also. </p>

<p>The walk really adds up if you have breaks in between your schedule and you have to kill time.</p>

<p>also, walking in that time frame is about right when there is no snow. when it starts to hit the 20s and 30s, you probably wont want to walk 15-25 mins in the cold</p>
