Hello everyone!
I’m still undecided about my housing, I would appreciate some suggestions.
These are my choices at the moment:

1)575 Commonwealth Avenue
2)Warren Towers (700 Commonwealth Avenue)
3)Shelton Hall (91 Bay State Road)
4)Bay State Road brownstones
5)The Towers (140 Bay State Road)

1) It’s the closest and it’s still populated by freshmen (for what I’ve heard).
2) Very popular choice among freshmen students, close, but not very good-looking but a little messy-looking in my opinion, I’ve even heard that there is strict control in there.
3)Close to SMG, not messy. What about freshmen?
4)Nice-looking, close, calm but isolated!
5)Close, but I don’t like the fact that it has single-sex floors.

I haven’t put West Campus cause it’s a little far and I know how lazy I can be in the morning. I may reintroduce it anyway.

What about specialty residences?
I’ve put the ones of SMG (Warren (B), Management House, Shelton), but do you recommend them? I would still prefer a more “diverse” housing.

I have been to an Off-Capus reception and every student there was from West and attending CAS. They all said West was superb but that seemed quite unreliable advice.
I would like to even hear from students that have experienced other housings!
