<p>Any specific places i should visit?</p>
<p>Take a tour for sure… If you are business go look at the CSOM building, its wicked nice, Higgins is also cool to check out if you are looking for the natural sciences (bio, chem, physics, etc)… Bapst is really cool, people say it looks very similar to Hogwarts… Um, pretty much just walk around and look at what you think is interesting. O’Neill library is nice as well… Pretty much all of these buildings are shown on the tour (except Bapst i think)</p>
<p>Depends on what YOU are interested in. </p>
<p>Taking the official tour will certainly show you the main “highlights” of Lower and Middle Campus. But if you would rather do it on your own, you can go to the Undergraduate Admissions Office (in Devlin Hall) and pick up a little pamphlet for a self-guided “Walking Tour of the Campus” that includes a map and a short paragraph about the 12 locations they cover on the tour. </p>
<p>Note that these are mostly “walk-by” tours. As for actually going inside buildings, I would definitely recommend seeing Bapst Library – especially the stained glass windows in the main reading area (upper level) – and also the rotunda of Gasson Hall. If you’re interested in art, McMullen Museum of Art (located in Devlin Hall, across from the Admissions Office) is quite good. As a prospective student, you should at least visit the buildings where your major(s) are housed: Fulton for business, Merkert for chemistry, Cushing for nursing, etc. Also be sure to check out the O’Neill Library, Flynn Recreational Complex and the main dining halls (McElroy and Corcoran). If football is your thing, go to Alumni Stadium and bow before the Doug Flutie statue. :D</p>
<p>are we allowed in dorms? or on tours do we see them?</p>
<p>i’ll def check out fulton.</p>
<p>do you guys know(estimate) how long it gets takes to get BC? by the train(e-line?)</p>
<p>On the tours I’m pretty sure you do NOT see a dorm.</p>
<p>imac’s right, the tour does not go into any dorm rooms. It’s probably because the tour covers mostly middle campus (and a part of lower campus), and the freshman dorms are on upper campus.</p>
<p>But if you stand outside a dorm and just ask one of the students going in if you can take a quick look at his/her dorm room, you’ll probably find someone happy to oblige.</p>
<p>are there any places that i should try to avoid?</p>
<p>any places on campus for a quick bite? or within walking distance</p>
<p>cb:</p>
<p>the Green B line drops you literally across the street from campus. The Green C line stops (below the reservoir) in Cleveland Circle so you’d have to walk uphill about a half mile. But, the B line is the slowest since it’s a trolly that stops at every corner and for signals. Figure ~35 minutes from downtown. The Green E-line won’t get you there (I don’t think).</p>
<p>Comment on the dorms: good, but not PR “palaces” (ala Wake Forest or Emory, if you’ve seen those). I’d rate them as better than public Uni dorms, but not as good as many well-endowed private colleges.</p>
