> When I was a freshmen at Boston U, I wondered why there was no resource to read dorm reviews.

Back in the day, this resource was called the school newspaper and its annual special section on the housing lottery. Oh, and asking your friends.

And if you’re a pre-frosh, you got a randomly selected room - you learn about your paper-thin walls, hot radiators, and too-small sinks at the same time as your fellow neighbors -- it’s part of the experience.
