“Boston University has many different dormitories for their students but they are very expensive. Experiences here can vary depending where students wish to stay may it be an apartment, student…”
“Shelton Hall is incredibly quiet, but also not very social because of that. …”
“During my freshman year, I lived in a dorm mostly full of upperclassmen. It made the transition to school exceptionally difficult because a lot of my floormates already had friends…”
“Dorms are well taken care of, have good security, and offer many styles for different preferences in living styles.…”
“Freshman dorms are small and crowded- but good for making friends! Upper-classman dorms are brand new and either apartment-style or suite style. We have a 26-story brand new building that's…”
BU has some of the best food. The service is great and I love all of the chefs.
» Read MoreBU hosts mainly local cuisine, and makes a great effort to target all possible dietary needs from gluten free to Halal.
» Read MoreThe three dining halls are way better than other schools I've eaten at. The new dining hall at 100 Bay State is phenomenal. There's also plenty of great restaurants and such around the area, or just a T ride away.
» Read MoreMarciano Commons and West
» Read MoreLots of different food and eatable, can get a little too weird sometimes and not always sanitary. But the staff is easy to contact and they will fix any problem.
» Read MoreFantastic food relative to most campuses. West campus dining hall is where it's at.
» Read MoreI am an online student
» Read MoreAs much as you'll complain when you're here, compared to most other colleges BU has a fantastic dining hall in west campus and on bay state.
» Read MoreFrom what I have had in the dining hall, the food was good. There where also lots of little shops around to buy other food.
» Read MoreThe food at BU is great. When friends at other universities talk about their dining halls, I realize the BU students have better quality food where there is always a wide array of food selections, fresh and healthy produce, and the food is prepared right in front of us.
» Read MoreYou're either in it, or you're not. It's as simple as that. Greek Life is something that you have to actively pursue, but it is highly understated when compared to everything else of importance at BU.
» Read MoreGreek life is apparent but not overly abundant. Lots of parties are hosted by fraternities but there's no huge pressure to join Greek life.
» Read MoreIf you're looking for it it's there but it's not the focal point of campus.
» Read MoreI am an online student
» Read MoreGreek life is minor in the grand scheme of things, but a major part of west campus.
» Read MoreIn both frats and sororities there are a lot of different groups, with different focuses. It is a bit unfortunate but because of a regional law, the sororities do not get their own house to share as there are only a certain number of girls who can live together.
» Read MoreGreek life is not a major part of the university, but it is becoming increasingly important. Frats are where most freshman party. Great way to make friends, but sororities don't have houses so be prepared for that.
» Read MoreGreek life is present but not overwhelming.
» Read MoreI'm not involved, but my friends who are love it. You can be as involved or as little as you want to be.
» Read MoreSeems lively, though as a grad student, I don't partake...
