Is Roncalli the best dorm at BC?

terrible bathroom conditions, and very dusty rooms but close to main campus. it is a sucky place to be sophomore year when everyone is on lower but you’ll be fine

Roncalli is the most convenient building to get to your classes and McElroy dining hall, but that’s about it for its positives. The room was significantly smaller than my double on Newton campus. I could not position my dresser, bed, and desk in a way that I could easily access the drawers to both the dresser and desk. The dresser is a full dresser and does not fit under the bed. There is no A/C in the dorm, and the window only opens by sliding to one side (so only one roommate gets a breeze). The ledge is barely wide enough to fit a box fan, and ours fell multiple times due to this. There are floating shelves above only one of the beds. There is an elevator, but it is absurdly slow and not handicap accessible (must take a few steps to get to it). The lounge downstairs is air conditioned and fairly new/renovated. The laundry room was adequate but frequently had multiple broken machines despite everyone putting in constant work orders. There is nowhere for guests to park temporarily nearby; the closest is parking illegally at McElroy dining hall, but you are risking a ticket/tow.
