I liked living here. It was close to the gym, had the mail room there, close to the Mods. It was far from classes and dinning hall and kind of desolated during the evenings.
Gross building, the only redeeming qualities are access to the mods and the mail room. Mice, mold, and no AC are absolutely awful. People may trick you into thinking this is the best sophomore housing - only if you’re a guy who throws parties every weekend.
You know what you’re signing up for with Walsh, and it’s definitely not for everyone but if you like it you love it. It’s pretty gross for sure especially the bathrooms (kinda hard to keep them clean with 8 guys) but if you embrace it living in Walsh will be some of the most fun you have at BC (IMO). Also the person saying it’s a 20 minute walk to class is bs it’s probably more like 10-12 walking slowly
Room was pretty big for a double and the study rooms were very nice. But the room had no air conditioning (which in the humid New England heat was awful) and Walsh is a 15 minute walk from classes, and a 20 minute walk from most of the other dorms. My roommate selection was bad; my roommate smoked so much marijuana that the room reeked of pot and I had to clean up after him. He and his friends played video games all day and night, and when I asked him to accommodate my schedule he blew me off. Sometimes I had to sleep in the study rooms because my roommate and his friends were in the room playing games at midnight. Eventually I moved out and I'm glad I did
Your chance to experience life in the projects. Grimey as hell, but absolutely perfect. Enjoy it while you can.
Room never felt truly clean and it's hella far away from everything. Least it has laundry and mail.
