The East & Central Apartments offer a mix of convenience and spacious living at Boston University, situated right on Comm Ave for optimal campus access. Many residents appreciate the generous living space, especially in the two double apartments, and the private rooms available in some doubles. The kitchen is a highlight, boasting extensive counter and cabinet space, although some apartments have lingering maintenance issues like non-functioning burners or small kitchen areas. While the bathrooms are mostly functional, certain apartments have issues like doors that don't lock. Noise can be a concern, especially in apartments facing the street or those near nearby attractions like the Dugout Bar and Insomnia Cookies. Additionally, the dorm can be dark if rooms face the internal courtyard. Mice have been a reported issue, though bug problems are notably absent. Residents commend the dorm's prime location, excellent for those wanting quick access to campus resources, public transport, and amenities like CVS. However, be prepared for older facilities, frequent maintenance requests, and be mindful of potential mouse intrusions.

Boston University (BU) is a private research university located in Boston, Massachusetts.

BU dorms come in a few different styles: large traditional-style, small-traditional style, and apartment-style; then there is Student Village and Fenway campus. Most commonly, first-year students choose between Warren Towers and West Campus. They're best for first-years for the social aspect and the in-building dining hall. Second-years usually move on to brownstones or the other traditional-style dorms like Hojo or Myles Standish. Many upperclassmen stay in apartment style dorms or StuVi for the kitchen.
