There are many different housing possibilities and BU has a housing office to help you. Student housing is available in everything from the old brick buildings to modern skyscrapers. We recommend that you stay at the university's student housing, but it is also possible to find flat shares on the private housing market.

Please note that the housing office does not provide student housing for graduate students, so if you are taking a graduate diploma you need to rent privately.
