• Housing

  Every member of Boston University's population of over 16,000 undergraduates is guaranteed on-campus housing. Though the school has a large number of residence halls and has built several new ones in the past few years, some overflow students are housed in hotels. Since Boston is a densely packed urban center, the residential facilities are sometimes located some distance from academic buildings and free shuttles are provided to bring students to the campus.
