My Freshman Year at Boston University | Brownstone Living, What to Bring, Advice

Spilling the tea on my freshman year at Boston University!

Before coming to school, I couldn’t find any information or photos of the dorm I was assigned to, which led me to go into the year with a lot of nerves and anxiety. I really wanted to share everything I could about living in a BU brownstone - both the highs and the lows - to hopefully help others in a similar situation. In this video I give you guys a tour of my brownstone (called 481-483 Commonwealth Avenue), details about the building, the culture of the brownstone, what I recommend you pack (and don't), and some general advice for living at Boston University.

Be sure to check out the list at the end of the video of everything I talk about in the video. It gives you an overview of everything to bring for screenshot purposes!

I sincerely hope this video will reach the right people, so if you know anyone starting at BU please share this with them!

Time stamps of the video:
0:00 - Intro
1:00 - Dorm Overview

8:27 - Things You Don't Need to Bring to College
10:12 - Things I Wish I Had Brought to College

Let me know if there are any more questions I can answer and any more content you guys would want to see (whether it’s about BU or not)!

P.S. More videos and photos of my brownstone and triple are posted on my TikTok!
