How Living at BU is like Friends

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

 

1.     You can live right across from your best friends, and they occasionally barge in and invade your space, but you really love it.

2.     You learn things in class.

3.     You and your buddies have that one special hang out…like GSU, SMG Starbucks, you know your place.

4.     Dining hall food. Think Monica’s cooking. And Late Night Kitchen and Extreme Pita and Late Nite. Or all of those perfect dorm snacks like Ben & Jerry’s, guacamole or ramen noodles.

5.     You have those deep, stimulating conversations. Maybe with your friends or with your professors.

6.     You get hit on… a lot.

7.     Those days where you do the most ridiculous activities. Have you ever built a blanket fort in your room? Childhood activities are the MOST fun in college.

8.     Newbury Street is only a few T stops away

9.     The parties are always mostly girls

10.  Sleeping in and Netflix is the best way to spend the weekend.

11.  There’s a coffee shop every other block. There’s Starbucks, Dunkin’, Starbucks, Pavement, Starbucks, Blue State…

12.  You’ll make that close group of friends you’ll always be able to rely on even after graduation, no matter what.
