Hey guys, I didn't see you there.
My name is Allyson Imbacuan.
I'm a resident assistant at Warren Towers and
today I'll be telling you about Warren Towers and showing you around.
Warren Towers houses the half of the underclassmen at BU.
It's centrally located on Comm Ave, so it's right next to the College of
Communication and right across from the College of Arts and Sciences.
So if you're late to class,
don't worry about it cuz it's basically five minutes away from your classes.
Fun fact, it's also the second largest non-military style dorm in America,
second only to one in Texas.
So that's a little bit of Warren pride there.
So now we'll just show you around in Warren, so let's go [LAUGH]
[MUSIC]
So right now we're on the fourth floor of Warren Towers.
This is where the lobby is located.
We just entered from security.
There's a little lobby here, some study lounges, and
then you can go to whichever tower or the dining hall that you choose.
But we're gonna go a little bit deeper into Warren and start with A Tower.
So if you'll just follow me.
All right, so welcome to A Tower.
So this is one of the three towers located in Warren, like I said before.
So there's three elevators located right at A Tower,
which will take you to one of the 18 floors that we have here.
And then A Tower is also right next to the dining hall.
So the dining hall is open at 7 AM in the morning and it closes at 10 PM at night.
So it has many stations in the dining hall and
you have free choosing of whatever you would like from each station.
There's a wide variety every single day, they change it up with every meal and
it's really good.
[MUSIC]
So a little past the lobby, you'll find the quiet study lounge, as we call it, and
the printers lounge.
So they're both study lounges.
If you want a quiet time, you don't really want some distractions around you,
you'd probably study here.
[MUSIC]
And then my favorite study lounge, because I do like to talk a little bit with my
friends, is the printers lounge, which is located right here.
So in the printers lounge you have some more leniency as to how much you can talk.
Sometimes you can watch a movie in here if you would like,
because there are TVs located here.
And then we also have printers.
So we have colored printing and black and white printing.
[MUSIC]
Okay, so located right in the lobby is the mailroom, as we call it.
So to my left there is a big wall of little mailboxes
that is designated to each resident of Warren.
Your room key is actually the key for these mailboxes.
And then if you get a bigger package,
then we have the mailroom [LAUGH] which is where you can give your ID and
then they'll give you your package, because they have them all in there.
So, past the mailroom, we have the Residence Life Office,
which is where I work on certain days.
So in here, which the hours are nine to five on the weekdays.
And then we also have a residence assistant on call so
you can call them whenever there's an issue.
But you can just go in here if you have any problems related to residence life or
you just have a problem that you don't know who to call,
they're always there to help.
[MUSIC] Hey, [LAUGH] all right, so
now we're in a little pocket of C Tower,
which a lot of people actually don't know about this study lounge.
But I spent many many hours and
late nights with my friends here in freshman year.
Right across from that study lounge is the rec room, as we call it.
So in here we have a couple of little games that you can play.
We have a pool table.
We have a little ping pong table.
And all of these we have supplies for
that you can use to play with from the residence life office.
So if you wanna play with your friends,
just make sure you check out with your ID and then you're all set to go.
Right now we're standing right in front of the C Tower laundry room.
So in here you'll find rows and rows of different washers and
dryers to do your laundry.
So this is the big laundry room.
But if you don't want to come all the way over here,
which I usually don't cuz I live in B Tower,
there's actually smaller ones located on the fifth floor of the other towers.
[MUSIC]
Welcome to my floor.
This is 18B.
I'm the RA of this floor.
So my room is just around the corner here.
And then I'll just show you around what a typical dorm looks like if you have
a single.
This is my dorm, so I'm a big hairstyles and arts fan.
I have a couple of posters, I have Harry Styles, and then the Birth of Venus,
and Claude Monet.
I also have a very beautiful view of the Charles River and
the new data science building.
I've basically seen the whole progression of it [LAUGH].
Freshman year, my experience living in Warren was really great.
My room is basically a hotel because all of my friends would come and
just stop in throughout the day.
It's a really great freshman community, so
I highly recommend living in Warren freshman year.
And then right here is the common room.
So this is basically just like the basic outline of a common room.
We have two tables and then some seats.
This is where I hold my floor meetings.
Or if you just want some of space outside your room just hanging out with
some friends from a different floor, you can always just stay in here.
[MUSIC]
You found me?
Okay, so we're outside Warren again.
You can see that there's students milling around because it is a typical school day.
But I thought it'd be good to talk about how Warren is so
unique in the fact that it's connected to a lot of restaurants.
So let's just go see one right now.
All right, so right now we are located right outside of Starbucks.
So here you can use your Dining Points.
And it's just like any other Starbucks, you can sit inside,
order out, do whatever you want.
Here we have Basho Express.
So just like Starbucks, you can use your Dining Points here.
And they serve a wide variety of foods, bubble tea,
a bunch of different bowls that you can order from.
And you can do it if you don't feel like dining hall food is your kind of
vibe one day.
Welcome to City CO.
So this is basically just a convenience store that also serves as a grocery store,
right, connected to Warren.
And again, you can use your Dining Points but here you can also use your
Convenience Points, similar to how you can use them for laundry as well.
Okay, guys, so that's about it for the Warren tour.
I hope you guys enjoyed following me around today.
Let me know if I did a good job in the comment section.
But I actually have to go.
[SOUND] [LAUGH] I hope to see you all around campus, I'm late to class.
