The problem with smaller dorms is that the smaller dorms tend to have more Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors who have already made their friends. In the larger freshmen dorm, everybody is looking to meet new people. However, if you do choose to and are able to live in a smaller dorm, the key to being happy at BU is to get involved. They have a big student activities fair the weekend after you arrive at BU and there are tons of options to get involved for every interest.

Also, when you go to orientation during the summer, they have activities which allows you to get to know Boston better. During the orientation they really push you to be open and meet people. Also, definitely do the FYSOP program in the fall. My son decided to work another week at his job instead of going and he was sorry that he did not do the program. FYSOP is great way to learn about Boston, meet friends while doing community service and then have time at night to have fun in the city with the people that you have met during the day/week.
