Hey new Terriers! You'll traipse merrily around a few of these campus spots during your Orientation visit. Dean Elmore has left a prize or two for a few new folks.
College Residence Hall · Allston · 6 tips and reviews
Dean Elmore: Some argue that the best dining room on campus is around here. Plaza might be best place to sleep on a steamy night. (Beats the sticky blue mattress any day.)
925 Commonwealth Ave (at Harry Agganis Way), Boston, MA
College Hockey Rink · Allston · 39 tips and reviews
Dean Elmore: Do some good today! If Dean Elmore or his staff catches you doing something good, he might give you seats in the suite at the top of section 108 - one of the Student Sections.
Dean Elmore: "Lot's of happenings by the tree, the river, the sculpture, and The Rock.Get together with your crew and paint The Rock. Win some swag if you tell us how many layers of paint are on The Rock."
Dean Elmore: Vigils, dancing, singing, pillow fights, flash mobs, wheelie poppin', and protest -- this is the People's Plaza. "Doowutchyalike" but respect the Seal.
Dean Elmore: Check out the desk in the front lobby. A certain late night talk show host used it while filming live from this place. Bonus points if you can tell us who. (P.S. Letterman was here, too.)
775 Commonwealth Ave (Boston University), Boston, MA
Student Center · Kenmore · 70 tips and reviews
Dean Elmore: Programs, meetings, trinkets, tchotchke, and food -- oh my! Check out the Dean's Burger at Rhett's and follow @BUDiningService and @theGSU (on Twitter).
Dean Elmore: Our own bazaar and marketplace. Best gauntlet in town, where you'll feel the spirit of the place. Check out the new entrance to Mugar - makes our student center one with a library, too.
College Auditorium · Kenmore · 16 tips and reviews
Dean Elmore: "Whao! check out that organ! It's the biggest one in New England -- now that's swagger! Get your own swag if you tell us whose name is on that organ. (Get your mind out of the gutter, please!)"
