Is Reservoir the best dorm at BC?

Students rated Reservoir a 4.3/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

These are the negatives I recall during the time I lived in Reservior/2K: One of the negatives of living in a triple is definitely the bathroom. For three roommates, the bathroom was smaller and more debilitated than the bathrooms of the quads I visited in the same building. The water pressure for the shower was horrendously weak, and the drain clogs up more often than not that it must be cleaned every week. I hope these problems were isolated to the bathroom I used, because I would feel terrible if these issues are common experiences. Also, at least one of the two elevators is always out of service which is slightly annoying if you live on a higher floor. Overall, the room was adequate for the semester. The kitchen was surprisingly big and suitable for meeting cooking needs, but stuffing three beds, three desks, and two closets all in one room gets a little suffocating. I would suggest avoiding triples in 2k when considering housing picks. Regarding location, I felt that travel to and from 2k is bearable, meaning that you can walk to lower campus in 10 minutes or take the bus to class. If you want to leave BC, the B line is right out front and you can call a ride service while waiting in the expansive lobby that has a security guard.

Far from campus, but if you’re a junior you’re living in the off campus neighborhood which is a plus. Quality is great, rooms are comfortably carpeted and clean, modern building. Only cons are the distance, and one bedroom in 4 person apts is way smaller.

The dorm is far from campus but in my opinion is worth it! Would definitely recommend this dorm.
