Boston University Housing System - Large Dormitories - Warren Towers

Warren Towers

The largest dorm on campus, Warren Towers houses about 600 students in each of its three towers. Access to the building is via escalator to the fourth floor, where the building’s dining hall and other amenities are located. The floors 5-18 are residential floors. The first three floors and basement house a University parking garage and street-level retail establishments.

Most freshmen live in Warren Towers, though there is also significant retention of sophomores. The majority of rooms are identical double-occupancy floorplans, the exception being single rooms, the occasional quad, and the corner doubles. Corner doubles are almost twice the size of a standard double room and are coveted by those residents selecting housing in Warren.

Some floors are same sex, but the majority are coeducational with women on one side of the hall and men on the other side, each with their own bathroom (the same is true for West Campus). Warren residents use common bathrooms having between 2 to 4 shower stalls, depending on the floor and tower.

The fourth floor of Warren features several study lounges with wireless internet access in most, a screening room, a laundry room, a music room, a game room, and computer lab. Two of the three towers also have small laundry rooms on the 5th floor instead of study lounges, but most students tend to use the large laundry facility on the fourth floor near C Tower.

The recently-renovated dining hall in Warren is one of the largest in the BU housing system, serving not only Warren Tower residents but also residents of South Campus dormitories and other students from the smaller residences along Commonwealth Avenue. Because of its central location on campus, the Warren dining hall is also popular with students who live on other parts of campus but take their classes in central BU area.
