Fuqua Welcome
Close to Station 9 and Berkshire Ninth Street where many Fuqua students live, as well as walking distance to the Ninth Street area with restaurants and bars. In particular, I really like being walking distance from Yoga Off East and Tavern (popular Fuqua hangout every Tuesday night). I chose Berkshire Main Street because I wanted to be in the same area where most of my classmates live, but also a little bit removed from the action so that I could be as involved in the social scene as I wanted. Also very convenient for team meetings since so many people live in this area. Berkshire Main amenities are really nice and I have enjoyed living here. Also recommend signing a two year lease with reduced rent over the summer during your internship.

Great location, but train is really loud
Really convenient to campus and the rest of the 9th street area, but it is really close to a train crossing that is really loud, sometimes early in the morning and late at night.

Enjoyed Living Here
Overall, I have enjoyed living at BMain and haven't had any large issues. I like that it is close to Station 9, but not in S9. All of the apartments have Nest thermostats in them, which is great for saving money on cooling/heating. The community kitchen space is really nice and is perfect for having a large group of people over. The common spaces can be reserved online, which is also very convenient.
Be aware of where you chose to live in the apartments, as we are very close to the train tracks and the apartments that face the tracks have to deal with incredibly loud trains 5-10x a day.

Great spot
Great high-end place for this area. Definately worth the premium and see if you can negotiate on price.

Living in Berkshire Main
Berkshire Main is one of the nicer buildings in the Ninth Street area. It is different from S9 and B9 because the complex is smaller, but with all the same amenities. In addition to that our hallways are internal. The building is a mix of (quiet) undergrads, doctors, and families. I moved here because I wanted access to the social life at S9 but also to be in a quieter building. It's been a great compromise and there are a handful of Fuquans here so I'm not alone. The facilities are comparable to B9 but the small size and internal hallways set it apart.

Nice new building, a bit pricey, live on non-train tracks side of building
Berkshire Main is in a great location, very convenient for the Fuqua social scene. However, you still have to drive over the campus, which for me usually makes for a 20 minute door-to-door commute. If I had to do it all over again, I'd live at lofts or trinity commons so I could walk to campus. However, if you're going to live in the 9th street area, Berkshire Main is a solid choice. Much quiter than Station 9. Just be sure to live on the non-train tracks side of the building. The train gets really noisy.

Great Complex, Great Location
Love BMain. It's a stone's throw away from Berkshire Ninth and Station Nine, yet a bit nicer and bit quieter. The shared amenities are great, in particular the pool, which is the nicest complex pool around. Gym is adequate and overall it's reasonably priced here.

You can get to the school by bus (45 mi) or by car (10 min). Carpooling is very commom.
