It was really a utility room or something they had tried to make into a room: it had a door that led out into a public space that could not be locked (they had furniture up against it) and the only window in the room opened out into an elevator shaft or something (was an interior space in the building and when you looked down, it was full of garabge!). For what my parents were paying for me to be there, that so called "single" was shameful. I attended the first two weeks of school out of the Ho-Jo's down the street and then finally found an apt in the Somerset (before they went condo) then had to move to another apt out in Brookline when the Somerset went condo. @lindsaydoll

It would be neat to take an image of the classroom in the movie and compare it to photos of each of the other classrooms. Perhaps some detective work is in my future. Very true.

Regardless it was pretty funny to be like, that's so BU while watching it I have a feeling there’s a lot of rooms that must look the same at BU, b/c the math classroom was definitely the same as a standard classroom in SMG (and photonics was built about the same time I believer) - I wouldn’t be surprised if CAS had similar rooms if some had been renovated.

Haha, my bad. I believe the math class was filmed in a room on the 3rd floor of CAS, we used to have chapter in that room and in the first classroom scene I remarked how much I hated those chairs. When I finally realized it actually was BU, I definitely made it known to those in my vicinity. Sorry!

The alumni event was at the castle. Good call, I missed that one. However, I'm sticking to my guns that the math class is in Photonics. Have you ever been in there? It's too fancy to be CAS.

When the guys win the competition, they're definitely in SMG though. I’m pretty sure it’s Photonics on the second floor. When the guys win the competition, they’re definitely in SMG though.
