13 Boston University Dorms Ranked From Best To Worst

Boston University has about 18,000 undergraduates, so naturally, there needs to be plenty of housing, not all of which is great. Here's a ranking of BU’s housing, from best to worst.

1. StuVi 1.

Well, duh. StuVi1 is not only beautiful, but it is also conveniently located just a few hundred feet off Comm Ave, not to mention the view of the Charles. It has the Buick Street market just downstairs, with amazing food, and it has kitchens. Who wouldn’t want to live in an apartment building that they would never be able to afford after college?!

2. StuVi 2.

As the younger brother of StuVi 1, StuVi 2 stands much taller and more magnificent. It is new, clean and big. It is perfect for living with your close friends. The lobby resembles that of a hotel and well, its just StuVi. It just cannot be number one because of no kitchens.

3. West Campus (Claflin, Sleeper, Rich).

West is best. Enough said.

4. 1019.

Many refer to 1019 as a BU sophomore rite of passage. It is in the same condition as the West Campus triplets, but it is a step up, due to the fact that it is a suite style. You get a less cramped feel because there is a sitting room, and you only have to share a bathroom with five other people instead of forty. It is smaller, so there is more of a community feel. Plus, it’s in West.

5. Kilachand.

The super smart kids get the huge rooms. This place is not necessarily super, super nice -- no nicer than the next -- but the room space is huge, and the location is beautiful. Plus, it is all the super smart kids in one place and they get grass they can sit on right outside.

6. 575 Commonwealth Ave.

Despite the fact that this is not the newest, prettiest, or cleanest dorm, it has air conditioning. What?!

7. Bay State Road.

You really cannot beat the beauty of this road. This is the road that made me fall in love with BU. No matter the season, it is alway gorgeous, and it is located near the best dining hall on campus.

8. East Campus Brownstones.

Super close to Newbury, so this is obviously a great place. Plus, living in a brownstone is so amazing.

9. Myles Standish.

This dorm is really only good for a bus stop. It’s located next to UBurger and right in Kenmore, but you have to walk for a dining hall.

10. Danielson.

Those who even know what this building is, or where it is, know that it is a beautiful on the outside and conveniently located, sandwiched between MIT frat houses. But, it is actually in the middle of nowhere and no dining hall around.

11. South Campus Brownstones.

South Campus is very underrated in beauty and how nice the housing is. However, it is so far-removed and set back that most of the time, I even forget it’s there.

12. Warren Towers.

With these, you really can’t beat the location. Everything is right there, you are right in the heart of the campus, and you don’t ever have to go outside for a dining hall. But, that is seriously it. It looks like, was designed by, and is, a prison.

13. The Towers.

Ew, It’s the Towers. Enough said.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
