<p>i’m a junior who’s thinking about applying to BU in the fall. i visited the campus about a week ago, and i loved it. great atmosphere, beautiful city, and the campus was lovely. i only had two small concerns, and although they may seem trivial to most people, they were pretty important to me.</p>
<p>first of all, on our tour in one of the dormitories, our tour guide mentioned that some of the rooms have no laptop reception. this seemed more than a little concerning to me. how can you not use your laptop in your own dorm? i wanted to know if anyone else has or had this problem, and what they did/are doing about it. i just can’t really fathom living in a dorm with no reception for me to be able to use my laptop.</p>
<p>secondly… this is going to sound beyond weird and ridiculous, but… the elevators scared me. i have a huge phobia of elevators; i’m terrified every time i go on one. in the dormitory i visited, stairs were available, as i hope they are in every dormitory, but if i’m living on the tenth floor, taking the stairs every day would be more than a little tiring. so what i wanted to know is, have any of you students at BU witnessed an elevator malfunction in your dormitory before? also, would it possible for me to recommend a dorm on the second or third floor? thank you! :)</p>
