<p>I just got my residence assignment today and am very pleased to have been placed in Warren Towers. I was placed in room 1719B and I just had a few questions about this for those who may know. First of all, I wanted to make sure that this floor is co-ed and not single sex. Also, I read somewhere that floor 17 B is a pre-med specialty floor. I am a political science major (who happens to love playing guitar) and I don’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of study geeks who have no social lives. I want to be surrounded by people who want to have just as much fun as I do and I know pre-med students usually don’t have too much free time for fun activities due to their rigorous schedules and heavy courseloads. Will this be the case on this floor? Will I be one of the only students on the floor who isn’t pre-med? Or are the specialty floors not completely dedicated to the subject to which they are designated? Any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>By the way, how many floors are there in Warren Towers? I’m pretty sure there are 18 floors in each tower but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>This might answer your questions:</p>

<p>Yeah, that backdoor thing is helpful but it doesn’t answer the questions from my first post. I want to know if floor 17 in Marshall tower is a co-ed floor. And I also would like to know about those pre-med floors just to make sure that there will still be some social life.</p>
<p>If you’re male, then it’s co-ed (one side of the elevators is all male and the other side is all female)–there are no all male floors or houses at BU (or at least there weren’t when I was a freshman). There is an all-female floor in Warren usually because of the overabundance of women who attend.</p>

<p>According to housing’s website, Marshall 17 (which I’m guessing is B tower) is pre-med. Sometime people get placed in specialty housing for space reasons–I remember walking around the COM floor one year and seeing half of the residents listed as CAS '06 on their door. You may or may not be the only non-pre-med. There’s no way to tell beforehand.</p>
<p>Each tower has 18 floors; however, they begin at the fifth floor (the first three floors are the parking garage and the fourth floor is where the escelators take you). I think the fifth floors of each tower are apartment-style rooms reserved for tower heads and faculty-in-residence.</p>
<p>“I am a political science major (who happens to love playing guitar) and I don’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of study geeks who have no social lives.”</p>
<p>No offense, but that’s a crappy attitude. Don’t start pre-judging people before you even get to college. There are plenty of us who have very heavy courseloads–whether pre-med, in SMG, in ENG, etc.–who manage to not be “study geeks with no social lives.”</p>
<p>Alright, thanks for the help.</p>
<p>I’m on a pre-med floor too 16B…And I agree w/ Ryanbis about your comment (!) .That aside, there are plenty of people on my floor that aren’t pre-med either. There was just a huge housing shortage this year cause they closed down Hamilton House…so they placed random people wherever they’d fit. So don’t worry, you’re certainly not the only one!</p>
<p>hey im on the 16th floor too as premed…does anyone konw if this floor is coed or not? Also i got placed in a quad …does anyone konw how the room is arranged in this and how much bigger it is than a double?</p>
<p>I’m in 9C…there’s a facebook group for us called 9C Is Better Than Your Floor. Join it if you’re on there :P</p>
<p>What are the corresponding names for A, B and C towers? I think A is Fairfield.</p>
<p>don’t know about A, but B is Marshall and C is Shields. i am in 9B (engineering floor). anyone else on this foor?</p>
<p>I got Sleeper Hall, West Campus. Room Floor 11 I think… Anybody else?</p>
<p>this may be a stupid question but do the beds need twin X-long sheets or just twin sheets?</p>
<p>Twin extra long.</p>
<p>I got placed in Warren, 1807C. I’m so happy, I get to be right near CAS and GSU. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Anyone else in the Shields Tower??</p>
<p>I did! 902C!</p>
<p>Blech. I have nothing.</p>
<p>OMG youre in my friends room from last year! Thats so awesome! I’m on 14 C by the way. 18C is all girls too.</p>
<p>That’s awesome that your friend had my room! We’ll hafta chill. But wait, so the 18th floor is all girls?! If that’s true then that majorly sucks. :-(</p>
<p>Yeah its all girls. Mine is too though 
I’m not too worried about it though. I think there’ll be plenty of guys around</p>
