@racketnet @BUalim93 Both dorms (Morris and New Pembroke) are on the Pembroke campus, which has its own dining hall as well as a newly renovated space in Andrews for study and snacking. My D was in W. Andrews freshman year and found it to be fine, location-wise. It is a couple of blocks north of the main quad, maybe a 5-10 minute walk to Barrus Holley (Engineering), close to Thayer Street and both dorms are pretty basic college dorms. I haven’t been in New Pembroke for years. It is kind of a '70’s modern structure (structures) and Morris is more of a '60s kind of look. It will offer each of your kids the typical freshman experience. New Pembroke, the outside, should be pretty easy to see on Google Street View, corner of Thayer and Bowen. The end of Morris can be seen, most likely, from the corner of Thayer and Cushing Street. I think Morris has a small exercise room, though Pembroke is only a couple of blocks from the Nelson Center with pool and tons of fitness equipment (also close to ice skating/Meehan Auditorium and Pizzitola athletic center).
