The Art of Furniture Foraging: An Ode to Thrifty Tenants!
The off-campus home of your dreams is possible with some second-hand scavenging. By: Grace Dempsey Moving off-campus at BU can be tricky, to say the least. I was one of the many students who experienced the canon Sept. 1 move-in for the first time this year, and describing it as anxiety-inducing would be an understatement; however, on the other side of mustering every ounce of patience I had to sit through hours of traffic in a U-Haul was my very own home that my roommates an
