Hi, I'm Sarah, a current sophomore
studying biomedical engineering.
>> And I'm also Sarah,
I'm a sophomore studying biology.
>> And we're roommates.
We're currently standing outside of
Towers, in east campus
located on 140 Bay State Road.
>> Right next to it is
the Questrom School of Business and
Metcalf Science Center.
>> If you have a bad housing number
and considering staying in a large
dorm style residence, this is why
you should choose Towers.
>> Let's go take a look inside.
[MUSIC]
Towers is actually comprised of two
different towers, the West Tower
and the East Tower located all
the way down the hall, we also have
many different study lounges and
let's go check one of them out.
This is the Franklin Lounge
where there are many different
places to do work.
We also have a big TV behind me
that's great for
plugging in like your computer, and
watching movies with friends.
This is the printer room, a great
place to do group work, because
there are many large tables, and
if you happen to be here over
the summer, this is a great place
to check out because there's AC.
[SOUND] On my right,
we have the mailroom that services
all of Upper Bay State Road,
including the brownstones.
[MUSIC]
This is the quiet study lounge.
My favorite place to do
work here in Towers.
It's conveniently located right
underneath east tower.
So, when I'm tired and
done doing work,
I can just go crawl back in bed and
let's go check out the laundry room
located in the basement.
[MUSIC].
Unlike most laundry rooms here on
campus, there's always an empty
washer dryer you can use.
And with those washers and dryers,
they take both coins and
convenience points.
And actually,
I'll let you in on a little secret.
[MUSIC]
This place used to be an old dining
hall, but it's since been converted
to a study space,
which is a great place to study and
hang out with friends.
Now that we've finished checking
out all the communal spaces and
towers, let's go check out my room.
[MUSIC]
>> Welcome to
the ninth floor of East Tower.
This is the top floor in Towers,
and it's where I live.
So, when you come out
of the stairwell,
you enter right into the common
room, you have this wonderful
view of the Charles River, you have
lots of chairs, a wonderful desk,
whiteboard, come over here,
this is the elevators and,
on this side, room 905 is my room.
[MUSIC]
Let's go inside, each towers room
comes with a closet, a bed,
a dresser, a desk.
[MUSIC]
And a very large mirror in between
the two windows.
I have a great
view of Kenmore Square.
You can see the Citgo sign.
Sarah has a view of
the Charles River, which I think
is a little bit better.
What's great about Towers is that
there's a lot of
customizable space.
I like having my desk by the window
so I can look outside.
She likes having her desk under her
bed, so she chose to do that.
And I also took the liberty of
making the ladder that goes into
the bed as a bookshelf.
It was a really homey feel to it.
So, the walls are not cinderblock,
they're actually smooth.
So I decided to hang
up some posters.
And also,
there's a lot of floor space.
So, we have this huge rug here.
So in between classes,
if I'm not feeling like climbing
up the ladder to go to my bed.
I can sleep here, it's nice and
comfy, a lot of space.
Now I'm feeling kind of hungry,
let's go to Marciano's.
[MUSIC]
Welcome to Marciano Commons, it's
located in east campus by Fenway.
It's only a two-minute walk from
Towers, my stomping grounds.
And this is my favorite dining hall
because there's lots
of cool seating.
This room kind of reminds me of
the Cheesecake Factory, and
there's lots of cool
stations here on the first floor,
there is dessert, pizza, pasta,
grill, and sandwich, and there's
a lot more upstairs, let's go.
>> Sarah. >> Sarah,
what are you doing here?
>> What are you doing here?
>> I'm filming a Marciano dining
hall tour.
>> That's what I'm doing.
>> Really?
Why did you take over here,
I need to go eat.
>> Here we have the serve fry
station.
Behind me, we have the vegan
station and the salad bar, which is
next to the burrito bar and
the glutton free station.
We also have, unlike the other
dining halls on campus, two ice
cream stations, a bathroom and
a hand wash station downstairs.
That's it for our Towers dorm tour.
We had a great time showing you
around.
