<p>ClassicGuitar11- my son is accepted to BC and we are coming up in a few weeks, everything we have read sounds like BC is a good match- can you tell me what dorms are the best for freshman? Where not to be? Thanks for all the info.</p>
<p>Jesuits, campus, volunteer culture, well-rounded student body, the philosophy department, most of the philosophy professors, late night conversations on the second floor of lower dining hall, good looking people, constant stuggles with Heidegger, retreats, and of course football.</p>
<p>As for freshman dorms, I lived on Newton last year. It wasnt so bad. Yeah, waiting for the bus wasnt so fun in January, but we never had to wait long. I also made many good friends on those bus rides - we actually made our torment into a joke, which helped on the bad days. Newton had some huge advantages though: better dining hall, big green areas, everybody knows everybody in the dorm at least, no forced triples. If you can put up with the bus Newton is great, but if you cant, Newton is still better than Upper.</p>
<p>Freshmen have no say on where they live unless they apply for specialty housing (Mederios, Sub-Free, Shaw Leadership, Multicultural) which are all located on upper. Basically, it comes down to chance. Mosty people try to live on upper but from what I hear Newton isn't so bad. If you request to live on Newton, you will most likely get it.</p>
