Hinman Reviews

The oldest dorms at BU but has been renovated in 2022. Brand new cafeteria, lounges, and the only Starbucks on campus. It’s also closest to lecture hall so you are 5 minutes away from 90% of the classes and libraries. A lot of people prefer the newer dorms like Dickinson but there’s a homey feel to Hinman because of the common area couches. It’s easier to make college campus living memories and friendships here. There’s a reason many people stay for another year once they try it.

Living in Hinman was great!! It really is the friendliest community and having a common room to hangout in was so useful. Everyone rags on it for being the oldest but honestly I didn’t mind. The rooms aren’t the biggest but I didn’t feel cramped either. It’s the closest to lecture hall so I never worried about being late, and I had a convenient place to hang between classes.
