Hi, I'm Rouding, I'm sophomore
studying computer science at BU,
and I'll be giving you
a West Campus tour today.
So West Campus
is home to over 1,800 students.
Here we have Rich Hall,
Sleeper Hall, and Claflin.
Although West Campus is kind of
farther from Central Campus, it's
still pretty accessible because you
could take the BU bus or
take the T.
[MUSIC]
Now, let's get the tour started.
[MUSIC]
Okay, let's start off with
Rich Hall first.
Come follow me.
So on my left,
there's the mail room, which
everyone that lives in the three
towers get their mail from.
Then pass on my right,
you have a really nice TV lounge,
where people can study and
hang out.
So in all of the three towers,
you have three elevators to take
you out to your dorm.
What is so special about Rich Hall
is that there is a game room, and
over here there's a really nice
study lounge.
Now let's take a look at
Sleeper Hall.
And now on my left we have ResLife.
They help students move in and out,
and also if you have any issues
with your dorm, you could go here,
but I always go here cuz I forget
my keys.
So coming to the basement on my
left, you have the laundry room.
Each of the three towers has their
own laundry room in the basement
and you can use quarters or
convenience points to do
your laundry.
[SOUND] When you come up just
a bit, you're on the second floor,
you have a study lounge.
I really like studying here on
the weekends cuz it's nice,
spacious, and quiet.
Now that we're back in the lobby,
there is a dining hall right next
to us.
[MUSIC]
One cool thing about
West's Dining Hall is it connects
Sleeper Hall with Claflin Hall.
I really like how this dining
hall is so spacious and
there are loud and quiet spaces
existing at the same time.
They always say West has the best
pizza, but I love eating
the cucumbers from the salad bar.
>> They also have good grapefruit.
>> [LAUGH] So
coming off the dining hall,
right behind me,
you have this study lounge.
It's facing Nickerson Field, and
it's very bright.
But if you don't like light,
there's a very,
very large study lounge in
the basement where you can go to.
[MUSIC]
So coming up to the 12th floor,
you have my floor that I live on.
So in typical West Campus dorms,
you have two lofted beds,
a desk and a closet.
Depending on the side of
the building you're on, you can
either face the Nickerson Field or
the city.
Coming in my dorm,
you can meet my children.
This is Misha.
This is Panini.
[INAUDIBLE] Coming here is my desk,
it's where I make my TikToks.
I'm mostly known for morphing
people into cartoon characters,
such as the pregnant person
emoji and Squidward.
Now that we're back outside,
we have Nickerson Fields right next
to me.
[MUSIC]
FitRec, which is BU's gym,
it's also five minutes away from
here and you can work out and
play sports there.
Also nearby is the track and
tennis center.
Now, I have to go to class.
[MUSIC]
So welcome to Walter Brown Arena.
This is where I take ice skating
classes, but
you can take other PE classes too.
Now let's do some cool tricks.
[MUSIC]
Fun fact, you can actually come and
skate here for free on Fridays and
Sundays.
You can rent skates for $5, but I
suggest you bring your own skates.
[MUSIC]
Thank you so much for joining me on
this West Campus tour and
I hope you found it super helpful.
Please like this video if you
enjoyed it and share it with your
dogs and stuffed animals.
That's it for me, bye.
