<p>My kid lived in a small dorm, really a brownstone, near Kenmore. If you don’t select to live with your group - as in a COM floor, a CGS floor - then you may end up not in a big dorm. A bunch of Hyatt kids, including freshman, got singles 2nd term. You can keep that room the next year. Actually, the way housing works, you can keep your room, see what’s open in your dorm or move elsewhere in BU. People switch a lot, either by a thing called direct swap or a pull-in where one person leaves and you can grab a friend into your room.</p>
