What's going on, guys?
My name is Matt Feliciano, I'm a sophomore at Boston University
studying political science, and I've been living in Myles for
the past year.
Originally the Myles Standish Hotel,
Boston University acquired and renovated the building,
turning it into a nine-story, 730-resident dorm.
It's located at the start of East Campus and the BU Bus starts right
outside so you don't even have to worry about getting around.
And it's in the heart of Kenmore Square,
which is a super lively location next to Fenway Park,
Newbury Street and other attractions.
Now, let's go check out my room.

Welcome to Myles 819.
[MUSIC]
So I live in a four-person suite, it's a double with two singles.
We have a closet for storage space, we also have our own bathroom,
which is really nice.
An added plus about the bathroom is that we also have the sink outside,
which makes it way easier when you're trying to get ready in
the morning.
We also spruced it up a little bit to give it a little bit of
personality.
We have a nice calendar here,
a fireman calendar where we write down the bits of the day, and
we also have an Ice Spice flag because who doesn't love Ice Spice?
Now, let's come check out my room.
All the furniture is provided by BU, which is really easy for
when you're moving in.
We have AC which is sick, I think most dorms do not have that, but
it's also heating, so great stuff.
A micro fridge because we don't have a communal kitchen, so
the fridge and the microwave comes in really handy when we're trying
to make some quick food.
And then I also did my own thing to make it feel a little bit more like
my room, a little bit more like something I can come home to.
I've got a nice sign here from Hunter Hunter,
which is a neon sign.
And then I also have Legos,
which are great because you're never too old to build some Legos.
Let's go check out the other room now.
[MUSIC]
So, this is the double.
Since we don't have a common room,
we all tend to hang out here because there's a lot more space.
These are my lovely roommates, Harry and Jonah.
It`s awesome hear because we can hang out, have more people, and
we also have a beanbag chair in the closet for
a little bit of added seating.
And outside the window, as you can see,
we have some great views of the Charles and of downtown Boston.
We also have a second elevator here that takes you straight to the
laundry room, so I'm gonna take it down and I'll see you guys there.
[MUSIC]
So this is the laundry room, you can pay for it using convenience
points or quarters, just try not to come on busy days,
which is like Sundays in the morning.
And next to the laundry room, we also have the printer and
a couple of vending machines.
And this is a game room, we have pool table, Foosball, and
we also have table tennis.
If you wanna get table tennis rackets,
you do have to go to the Res Life office and get them from there.
Adjacent to it, we do also have a little study lounge area,
plus a TV that has a Nintendo Switch hooked up to it.
So on the weekends you can pretty much find a bunch of people here
playing games.
We also right next to it have the kitchen,
which is even better because it's communal, so you can bake cookies
with your friends on the weekends and hang out there.
I personally don't cook there every day, I'm on a dining plan over at
Marci Dining Hall, it's only like a two minute-ish walk.
Now, let's go check out the mail room.
[MUSIC]
The hours for the mail room are 8 AM to 9 PM during weekdays, and
noon to 5 PM during the weekends.
Make sure to order your stuff with your lockbox number in there, and
also you bring your key for your room to open it up.
I'm actually gonna sign right now for
a package that I've been waiting for for a while, and
I'm super stoked about it.
And here we have the main study area, you also have private rooms
that you can rent out through the Res Life office.
And at the end we have a big study area,
where a bunch of people usually end up cramming for finals.
It's nice cuz there's a lot of natural lighting in there, so
it's a good change of pace.
Well, that about wraps it up for the Myles Standish Dorm Tour.
I hope you guys enjoyed learning more about the building, and
you got to see all of the new amenities and
cool stuff that's going on here.
It's a great spot to meet people, and I personally love it so
much that I'll be back here for my junior year as well.
Thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you guys later.
[MUSIC]
All right, you guys are coming this way too, yeah.
