<p>No... most classes are either Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays or Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some language classes are 4 days a week. Then you have random discussions thrown in for certain classes, science people may have labs, etc. Last semester, because of the language and discussions, no 2 days were the same for me.</p>
<p>Stary....CFA music classes are a little "odd" in the scheduling department. For example, DS has some that are M, W, TH. Others that are M T, TH. Ensembles can be MWF (orchestras) or TTH (wind ensemble). Chamber music is scheduled all over the place. Be prepared for sight singing...it's an 8 am class (no choice) for freshmen and sophomores.</p>
<p>Flix: I was just wondering, because you (or someone else) mentioned having 10 minutes between classes.</p>
<p>thumper1: Sight-singing; how difficult is that? I'm in one of the best choirs in school, and I can sing in tune, but I don't have much of a range. I'm a genuine alto.</p>
<p>Yeah there are 10 minutes between classes. You're let out of class 10 minutes early. An hour and a half class is really an 80 minute class, and an hour class is really a 50 minute class.</p>

<p>That depends how well you can pick up a piece of music and sing it using solfegio syllables. DS finds it pretty easy (but says that singing at 8 am isn't really a "pretty thing" for anyone). Singing in tune is only part of sight singing. The other part is being able to look at the music and do it. It's like "sight reading" for vocalists. DS says there is also a lot of interval study too.</p>
<p>thumper1-Solfege? I can do that no problem. lol. We spent so much time on that in chorus. We do typically sight-singing exercises out of a book, but we also practice going from do to re to do to mi to do to fa, and so on. </p>
<p>Flix- thanks for the clarification.</p>
<p>West is about 85% Freshman, not as noisy as Warren but very socilable. Near new Village and Fitness Ctr. More of a campus feel with the lawn area between the buildings overlooking the field. You'll get a nice view, probabaly of the River and City or field. A longer walk to most classes but thats a chance for meeting, talking, exercising.</p>
<p>How noisy is Warren? Because that is something that could really bug someone like me, considering I'm an only child who isn't used to this whole "living with others" thing. Also, considering the weather is around 30 degrees during the winter... I'm wondering if a longer walk in the snow is worth it for a quieter room. Any thoughts? Thanks!</p>
<p>I think it depends on how much you like the cold wind slashing across your face. If you're well bundled up and leave with plenty of extra time, I don't think you should be too bad off.</p>
<p>If snow is your primary concern when you consider walking distances, you needn't worry. They keep the sidewalks pretty clean in Boston. This past sub-zero Thursday, I walked the equivalent of a cross-campus stroll in jeans and a light jacket. Once you're acclimated to the cold, it's not that bad either.</p>
<p>Whatever you do, DON'T take a car.</p>
<p>or you just jump on thje trolly and it takes you practically door to door in minutes and out of the cold.</p>
<p>Bumping this thread up. I read that Warren Towers has four single rooms on each floor. What are the chances of an ED freshman snagging one of those rooms? S is determined to put Warren Towers as first choice.</p>
<p>I was told by a knowledgable (but not quite official) source that these rooms are reserved for "special cases". I'm not sure if those rooms are even an option. Besides, in a place like Warren Towers, a single affords little more privacy than a double occupancy room.</p>
<p>Interesting. I would guess that one single room is reserved for the RA on each floor--assuming each floor has an RA. Wonder what constitutes a "special case."</p>
<p>Your guess is as good as mine. I'll have to ask. I expect more humor than content, though. I doubt the housing office will give you a straight answer either. . .</p>
<p>Best of luck in finding out, though! If they are available, please yell it loud. Competition is healthy, no? : )</p>
<p>Nom, just how loud does Warren get? That is probably my number one annoyance: loud noise. In comparison, how does West fare?</p>
<p>I have no clue. I don't go to BU yet. Sorry. . .</p>
<p>Yesterday I read that Sydney Simpson (OJ's daughter) is a freshman at BU. She's 19 so I assume she's a freshman. Maybe this is one of the "special cases" that merit single rooms?</p>
<p>Maybe. . . I wonder who is actually being protected by that, though.
I was thinking that certain health conditions might merit separate rooming, but I can't think of any off of the top of my head.</p>
<p>I second that. My daughter just graduated from CFA and spent many hours a day in the practice rooms, often until late into the night. If she had not lived in West Campus her freshman year, I wonder whether she would have developed such industrious habits.</p>
<p>The problem came sophomore year when she couldn't get into anything except a dorm at the very opposite end of BU's long, drawn out campus. She ended up moving off-campus for the rest of her time there.</p>
<p>I disagree that off campus apartments are significantly more expensive than dorms. We spent about what we would have for a decent dorm room, and the two apartments that she lived in were no more than a 10 minute walk from CFA in very attractive and safe neighborhoods.</p>
