Terriers Share Their Most Embarrassing Freshman Moments
Awkward situations you’ll want to avoid
We asked, you answered. Over the past few weeks we reached out to BU students via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, asking them to share their most awkward and embarrassing freshman year mishaps. Some of their stories, from using Google Maps to get to class to getting locked out of a dorm room in just a towel, will make you laugh, some will make you wince. So take a look, all you members of the Class of 2019—you’ll want to avoid these mistakes.
