The Towers is one of the three Boston University dormitories traditionally intended for freshmen and sophomores, the others being Warren Towers and West Campus. The building comprises two towers, each nine floors high and linked at ground level by a single story structure housing common facilities. It is located on the eastern end of campus, next to the School of Education (SED) and behind the School of Management. It is close to the Blandford Street stop on the MBTA's Green Line "B" Branch.
It appeared in 21 (2008 film) as the dormitory which housed MIT student Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess).
