Best History
Built in 1925, Myles Standish Hall was also originally a hotel. Babe Ruth, Martin Luther King Jr. and Howard Stern have all stayed here, making it automatically cooler. The floors are a bit of a maze, especially in the annex, and it is easy to get lost in the dining hall.
Residents are typically sophomores and up and the floors are fairly social. For the side facing Comm Ave., the glaring lights of the Citgo sign and the loud traffic can get a bit annoying, but the Kenmore Square location is super convenient for catching the T or heading downtown.
This is a fabulous article! I wish I would have had this easy guide when I was picking where to live on campus. Great work!!!
