Re: New BU Tower
^It is a new dorm tower; as a freshman, you would not be living there. BU housing runs by class, and then a lottery. Incoming freshman are placed based on the outcome of the lottery of upperclassmen. Your choices would likely include Warren Towers, West Campus, or (if you are lucky...i was) the Bay State Rd brownstones.
I would recommend you ask for Bay State Rd as your first choice, followed by South Campus then either Warren Towers (if your priority is to be close to your classes) or West Campus (to be closer to athletic facilities).
just my two cents..
