So I know that Warren is the dorm closest to CAS, and that its very convenient, but I really much prefer the environment at West. The dorms are nicer, I like having the field and the arena and fitrec right nearby, and the food there is much better as well. I’m a sports person, so it seems like it would be more my crowd. I don’t mind taking the T or a shuttle or even walking, but I don’t want to have to walk more than 20 minutes every morning. Does anybody know how long the walk is from West to CAS? and if the shuttle or T are convenient/reliable for getting there? Or is it just not worth it for a CAS student to live at West, even if they like it better thanere?
How long of a walk? 15-20 minutes.
How reliable is the shuttle? Reliable if you’re not in a hurry.
T is expensive if you’re just going from West to CAS.
The food at West is great and the location is great if you want to be near Allston. Fitrec is worth it if you workout on a daily basis. The demographic is completely different. West campus has a lot of athletes.
