I lived in 728 comm Ave and I absolutely loved it. I lived in a double and had my own room. I have two cons to this place, there is a mouse problem in the building and there was a mouse in my room.

I live in the whitestones. It's pretty ok, some of the facilities are pretty old. There's a laundry in the basement which is nice, I don't have AC (I live in the basement) so I can't speak for the entire building. Generally the location is unbeatable, and everything is just "good enough"

Second, the room I was i...

Whitestones have the perfect location (7 minute walk to SCI, 10 minute walk to West Campus Target/Stuvi1), 5 minute walk to south, right in front of the St. Mary's BU Bus stop/next to green line). The apartments are a bit dated (bathroom and carpeting is clearly old) and in my apartment (2 doubles) ...
