FRESHMEN

All freshmen are required to live on campus, and all students who receive University-funded scholarships equal to or greater than tuition are required to live on campus.

Requests for exception to the on-campus residency requirement will be considered by the University Housing Committee only for residence with a spouse, parent or guardian, or minor child; or if freshmen are 21 years of age or older by October 1 of their entering year. Such requests, accompanied by a written statement of consent from a parent or guardian if students are not married, should be sent to:

Boston University Housing Committee
25 Buick Street
Boston, MA 02215

The University Housing Committee must give written approval for a student to be released from the requirement to live on campus and occupy a residence other than one in University housing.

Students who are under 16 years of age as of October 1 of their entering year are not eligible to live on campus.

Transfer students receive information about their resident status in their letter of acceptance.
