<p>I just got my residence assignment today and am very pleased to have been placed in Warren Towers. I was placed in room 1719B and I just had a few questions about this for those who may know. First of all, I wanted to make sure that this floor is co-ed and not single sex. Also, I read somewhere that floor 17 B is a pre-med specialty floor. I am a political science major (who happens to love playing guitar) and I don’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of study geeks who have no social lives. I want to be surrounded by people who want to have just as much fun as I do and I know pre-med students usually don’t have too much free time for fun activities due to their rigorous schedules and heavy courseloads. Will this be the case on this floor? Will I be one of the only students on the floor who isn’t pre-med? Or are the specialty floors not completely dedicated to the subject to which they are designated? Any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>By the way, how many floors are there in Warren Towers? I'm pretty sure there are 18 floors in each tower but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>This might answer your questions:</p>
<p>Yeah, that backdoor thing is helpful but it doesn't answer the questions from my first post. I want to know if floor 17 in Marshall tower is a co-ed floor. And I also would like to know about those pre-med floors just to make sure that there will still be some social life.</p>
<p>If you're male, then it's co-ed (one side of the elevators is all male and the other side is all female)--there are no all male floors or houses at BU (or at least there weren't when I was a freshman). There is an all-female floor in Warren usually because of the overabundance of women who attend.</p>
<p>According to housing's website, Marshall 17 (which I'm guessing is B tower) is pre-med. Sometime people get placed in specialty housing for space reasons--I remember walking around the COM floor one year and seeing half of the residents listed as CAS '06 on their door. You may or may not be the only non-pre-med. There's no way to tell beforehand.</p>
<p>Each tower has 18 floors; however, they begin at the fifth floor (the first three floors are the parking garage and the fourth floor is where the escelators take you). I think the fifth floors of each tower are apartment-style rooms reserved for tower heads and faculty-in-residence.</p>
<p>"I am a political science major (who happens to love playing guitar) and I don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of study geeks who have no social lives."</p>
<p>No offense, but that's a crappy attitude. Don't start pre-judging people before you even get to college. There are plenty of us who have very heavy courseloads--whether pre-med, in SMG, in ENG, etc.--who manage to not be "study geeks with no social lives."</p>
<p>Alright, thanks for the help.</p>
<p>I'm on a pre-med floor too 16B...And I agree w/ Ryanbis about your comment (!) .That aside, there are plenty of people on my floor that aren't pre-med either. There was just a huge housing shortage this year cause they closed down Hamilton House...so they placed random people wherever they'd fit. So don't worry, you're certainly not the only one!</p>
<p>hey im on the 16th floor too as premed....does anyone konw if this floor is coed or not? Also i got placed in a quad ...does anyone konw how the room is arranged in this and how much bigger it is than a double?</p>
<p>I'm in 9C....there's a facebook group for us called 9C Is Better Than Your Floor. Join it if you're on there :P</p>
<p>What are the corresponding names for A, B and C towers? I think A is Fairfield.</p>
<p>don't know about A, but B is Marshall and C is Shields. i am in 9B (engineering floor). anyone else on this foor?</p>
<p>I got Sleeper Hall, West Campus. Room Floor 11 I think.. Anybody else?</p>
<p>this may be a stupid question but do the beds need twin X-long sheets or just twin sheets?</p>
<p>Twin extra long.</p>
<p>I got placed in Warren, 1807C. I'm so happy, I get to be right near CAS and GSU. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Anyone else in the Shields Tower??</p>
<p>I did! 902C!</p>
<p>Blech. I have nothing.</p>
<p>OMG youre in my friends room from last year! Thats so awesome! I'm on 14 C by the way. 18C is all girls too.</p>
<p>That's awesome that your friend had my room! We'll hafta chill. But wait, so the 18th floor is all girls?! If that's true then that majorly sucks. :-(</p>
<p>Yeah its all girls. Mine is too though :( I'm not too worried about it though. I think there'll be plenty of guys around</p>
