Boston college housing layouts

Ignacio and Rubenstein both are strikingly similar to Edmonds Hall, except they have a few more advantages. The hill you have to climb to get to them, however, is not one of them. Since these two dorms are primarily for seniors, with a few lucky underclassmen exceptions, parties here are rampant on the weekends.

In fact, you can often hear the loud music blaring out of the windows on a walk past the Robsham Theater bus stop. When it gets hot, air conditioners keep the rooms cool. Like Edmonds, the interior is fairly plain, but the stairways sometimes provide a nice visual with the somewhat weird contrast of colors.

The brick walls of the rooms are a favorite and can sometimes lead to some visually appeasing, though banned by ResLife, illustrations from creative artists. Most students know Walsh Hall as the only dorm with a check-in desk, but there is much more to this large residence than the aforementioned new addition. Once residents clear the ever-pleasant Securitas employees, they enter a space inhabited by eight floors of sophomores, arranged in suite-style living.

Composed of either quads or the much sought after eight-mans, the communal floor bathroom disappears and common rooms take its place. Though the quads only boast a small entryway, the eight-mans include a common room as well as a kitchenette, complete with a countertop, a sink, and a kitchen table. Since the rooms do not have a refrigerator or appliances with which students can cook, Walsh residents have the same meal plan as they did freshman year.

Each eight-man also comes with one large storage room, which is perfect for housing winter gear, various holiday decorations, or your friend who prefers your room to their own on College Rd. The fact that Walsh is on the edge of campus, close to the BC T stop, also means that its residents have one of the farthest treks to class, ranging between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on the speed of the walker and the amount of time spent in line at Hillside Cafe while picking up a beverage for class.

Since residents live in such large groups to begin with, many students do not see the need to get to know their neighbors, which can result in minimal floor bonding.

Although the amount of floor bonding varies, most residents would probably agree that nothing beats ending a long day by hanging out with seven of your best friends in a Walsh common room.

As opposed to going by the name of reputable benefactors, these dorms are known by the numbers on their respective roads. Thomas More Rd. Directly across the road from Corcoran Commons, 90 is an air-conditioned haven in the humid months, composed of six-mans and eight-mans.
